Les Mains Déliées

Jun 08, 2014
Dans l'oeil de la caméra défilent les rues de Tel-Aviv..., là où une génération de cinéastes a bousculé les mentalités, les traditions, les mythes sociaux et culturels d'Israël. Au fil du bitume chauffé par le soleil, et d'extraits de films précisément choisis, Eytan Fox, Dan Wolman, Tomer Heymann ou encore Yair Hochner, entre autres, tous cinéastes de la cause homosexuelle, décryptent la singularité, la richesse et la tonicité du cinéma gay israélien. Un voyage édifiant dans l'histoire parallèle de ce pays très conservateur mais où les couples de même sexe ont le droit d'adopter depuis 2008.

The story is set in Jerusalem in the winter of 1959. Shmuel Ash, a sensitive student who has dropped out of university because his father's finances have collapsed, takes a live-in job as a companion to an elderly, incapacitated man, Gershom Wald, who needs someone to argue with.

Shmuel tells Wald about his alternative theory on Judas Iscariot: he says he believes Judas was not a traitor at all but, in fact, the truest believer in Jesus's divinity. Furthermore, a relationship develops between Shmuel and Wald's daughter-in-law, Atalia Abravanel, a sensual and mysterious woman. Shmuel falls in love with her in what becomes a tender coming-of-age tale.

Tied Hands

Jul 12, 2006
The film tells the story of a sensitive and complex relationship between a mother and her ailing son. Like in Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale "The Loveliest Rose in the World" where a prince must search for a rose to save his mother, who is dying in bed, "Tied Hands" sees a reversal of roles as a desperate mother goes out to find marijuana, to ease her son's pain. In her, turbulent journey in the streets of Tel-Aviv, old truths from her past come back to life and threaten to break down a wall of denials behind which, she's been hiding all her life.
