ok and not all the acting be top notch . or maybe not understand much hebrew deprive me of some of the subtext ( especially the policewoman ) . but a plot with little motion be very hard pull off successfully . and i think gitai succeed wonderfully . the plot in our life usually move no fast than this . do that mean our life be without mean . i be five year old when i be in tel aviv and and i remember it be beautiful and modern . this be a bit of a shock for me . but this be actually life almost everywhere and even in the u . politics be mention only peripherally and leave u to ponder on the actual life of individual . the people be real and and politics be still there and do affect people and no matter how much you want to ignore it . but the movie be still about people . and this be a beautiful portrayal of their life . every character have some sort of frustrated passion . i recommend this movie . i would like see someone from israel comment on the policewoman . she have an unusual way of talk and a strange hairdo and and some important story significance . do she represent a stereotype of an anti arab . or be there some other comment the author want to make .
