it difficult to not have a liking for israeli director eytan fox and for his movie and which describe the life in the middle east and the inherent problem gay people can have in these region . besides he also give voice to the young generation and and to the remarkable part of them and who really need peace and who want to take no further notice of a war that for too much time mark the existence of people and both in israel both in palestine . these reason and in my opinion and be sufficient to consider fox a noteworthy director and even when his feeling for the melodrama be a tad out of control . however the fan of his movie ( that he realize on team with gal uchovsky and his producer and co screenwriter and also life companion ) seem to not be vex by this and since his new feature and the bubble ( ha buah ) and be have the same success of the previous yossi and jagger and walk on the water . announce a a contemporary gay version of romeo and juliet and set in the present day tel aviv instead of verona and with two men ( one israeli and the other palestinian ) at the place of the two shakespearean young lover and the film actually be quite different from that or and good and it also something else . in fact the bubble of the title be the world apart in which the lead man and noam and play by the fox regular ohad knoller ( yossi in yossi and jagger and but i must confess i miss jagger and the astonishing yehuda levi . ) and his two co tenant and a guy and a girl and choose to live . around thirty year old and restless and witty and firm ( despite the protagonist just spend a period a national service in a checkpoint on the frontier with the palestine ) to live a life that would not be only make of war . the two guy be gay and along with the girl they have establish a trio in which they brotherly love and support each other . their life be destine to change when noam fall in love with ashraf ( the tv star yousef joe sweid ) a young palestinian who come to live in tel aviv . the law so far in force among the group be neglect and but not the will to aid one friend . still it would not be easy for noam and his friend and cause ashraf be clandestine in israel and in the meantime his family and who live in palestine and doesn not know he gay and be look forward to settle his wedding with a very beautiful girl and who be a relative of ashraf beloved sister bridegroom to be and who he be also a terrorist and he will have a strong liability in the development of the plot and with consequence not just for the two men . because the prejudice against the homosexuality and the peace ( interesting dualism and if not automatic ) be stubborn and so the tragedy be unavoidable . even if the film focus on the obstacle the relationship between noam and ashraf meet with and it doesn not the overlook the other character and which turn out well write ( for example golan and the boyfriend of yelli and noam fellow tenant and introduce a a lively boor and and then disclose a a sweeter and more open mind person ) and aptly perform ( besides the two lead and we mustn not disregard the funny zohar liba and the lovely daniela virtzer and the girl of the gang while moreover late marriage star lior ashkenazi appear a himself in a cameo ) . it also meld the gloomy tone with the more brilliant one and even if the director can not do without a melodramatic conclusion . i watch this movie more than a month ago and in the meantime i often think about it and proof that fox and his pal have a knack to strike home .
