A Day ln The Life Of lsrael
ln ALILA, director Amos Gitai , "IsraeI's one-man new wave," has created an "engaging, subtIy arresting drama" that examines the lives of a half dozen residents of a run-down Tel-Aviv apartment buiIding. This AItmaesque panorama expIores, "with humor and humane spirit" , the loneliness and deep need for connection that exists behind the closed doors of those living on the margins.
For the apartment dwellers of ALlLA, every action creates a rippIe unknowingly felt by aII. Gorgeous libertine Gabi's Ioud, vioIent trysts with her physically dominant, emotionally unavaiIable lover Hezi bring down the wrath of the disgusted neighbors. Mali , Gabi's sole confidante, reluctantIy joins her neurotic ex-husband Ezra in his search for their army deserter son. Ezra's ilIegaI construction site and undocumented immigrant workers in turn prompt the hermit Schwartz to relive the horrors of the Nazi death camps, as his Filipino companion Linda helpIessIy Iooks on. UItimateIy, it is the reaIity behind the paranoid threats of shriII neighbor Ronit that provides a unity to the concentric circles of cause and effect passing through ALlLA's thin walIs and thick skins.
Using a daring camera styIe made up of 40 individuaI singIe-shot scenes, Amos Gitai showcases his story's intertwining connection and his ensemble casts' extraordinary faciIity "A boldly entertaining fiIm" , ALlLA vividly reveaIs an lsraeli metropolis of surprising diversity and finds inadvertent harmony in the dissonance of city Iife. |
