this be arguably the best film director haim bouzaglo make until now . a skilled tv director and well train in story telling and in direct his actor through long epic he try to catch in this very low budget film the essence of the very special psychological situation the israelis live though under the permanent danger of the terror attack and result in wouldistorted life . each character try to live his own life and to watch and control the other and while be himself watch and control by other character and mostly by the continuous pressure and by political and historical force well beyond his control . some call this destiny and but destiny have a very concrete representation in this film . there be no explicit political say in distortion . character never discuss politics and not even at the level of say bastard . when they hear that a new terror attack happen . their reaction to event be to localize the attack and to count the victim use the official and medium terminology for the dead and the wound . they do not really live but rather survive on borrowed time happy to have survive one bomb and and wait for the next one to happen . personal and social and professional life seem to work someway and but be deeply flaw and influence by event . the main character play by the director be a playwright whose mid life personal and creative crisis be amplify by the pressure of the event and by the fact that he be lucky enough to leave a terror attack site minute before the bomb explodes . he hire a private detective to follow his girlfriend who be a tv investigative reporter whom he suspect be fall in for the subject of her next show another fail man and former military and whose business and family life dismantles under the event . he start to write a play that carbon copy the reality and will bring it to the stage and in theater in film scene that remind hamlet as well a synecdoche and new york . it not that i would dare suspect charlie kaufman look over the shoulder of bouzaglo and he certainly need not that and but the israeli director screen be brilliant into anticipate the later film ( and the first direct by kaufman ) . a in the american film actor play real person and start interact with them in an reality meet stage meet reality melange which never lack logic and at least not artistic logic . bouzaglo direct his actor with the usual talent and trust them and allow them the freedom of living through the situation rather then act them . his style be much more free here than in his tv series and and the wouldistortion effect and although borrow from american horror movie work pretty well all over . the end seem to me a little rhetorical and unsatisfying dramatically and but the shade of the suicidal killer who be haunt the film and the whole situation in a temporal loop will also follow the viewer when remember later this film .
