con il solito sguardo tragico e umoristico insieme Avi Mograbi mostra cosa succede in Israele normalmente, il razzismo e l'odio aperto verso i palestinesi, il trattamento della polizia verso di loro.
spesso come dice il titolo quelli che sembrano momenti apparentemente tranquilli non sono pace, ma prodromi di un qualche conflitto ad alta intensità.
buon Avi Mograbi a tutti - Ismaele
QUI il film completo, con sottotitoli in italiano
Avi Mograbi, a filmmaker known for both his strong political
opinions and his sense of humor, decides to document the anger and unrest he
witnesses in his homeland of Israel during August of 2001. Using only
a video camera—no script, no cast, no crew—Mograbi tries to make sense of
the complex problems facing Israel. A deeply personal film, August: A Moment Before the Eruption is,
like its director, at turns tragic and comic.
A blackly comic rumination on the state of mind of Israel in
summer 2000, the acerbic and eerily prophetic “August” captures a snapshot of
the Jewish nation just prior to the hostilities that broke out two months
later. Even those accustomed to director Avi Mograbi’s signature variations on
the “personal diary” format may find “August” disconcerting, ending as it does
with an implied psychological and cinematic meltdown. Half documentary, half
intentionally fake psychodrama, film alternates man-in-the-street vignettes
with increasingly bizarre confessional speeches made directly to the camera,
the two modes merging pointedly as pic progresses. Winner of the peace prize at
Berlin fest, piece features a bleak insider portrait of Israel that will appeal
to the director’s fans, but is unlikely to gain him new adherents on this side
of the Atlantic. Arthouse or indie cable play may depend on changes in the
American perception of the Middle East.
