Mishehu Larutz Ito is the original title of this beautiful Israeli film, released in 2006 but only arrived in Italy late last year. Adapted from the novel by David Grossman (who appears for a few seconds to half of the film), shot in digital Oded Davidoff, the film tells the story of a chase in Jerusalem today. There are two narrative lines, two actors, great stories, exciting and compelling: it starts with a phone call in the middle of the night, and from there the mysterious elements are multiplied, taking the viewer bound well to the story.
Other major elements of interest in the film are the places and faces, among them stands out for its skill and beauty of the young protagonist Bar Belfer, one of the first, an unusual Jerusalem, far from the stereotypes on TV war and violence. A modern city, alive and pulsing, which takes root, as Obviously, even crime, in this case linked to drug trafficking. The short film is an exploration of a surface not far removed from contemporary Israel as it appears in the arena of mass communication, and the underworld is shown with exploited youth do not look "documentary", but raw and delicate at the same time, while you savor the daily life of a country for a time away from the war, in which residents can devote to each his own personal pursuit of happiness, even - perhaps especially - the wrong road. Neorealism almost magical, full of tenderness and light.
