Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesRichard Harris took over direction from Uri Zohar, after ten days of filming.
- Zitate
Yasha: Nira's exhibition seems to be a great success.
Eitan: Yes, fantastic, especially with statues she used to make for laughs.
Yasha: Yes, the secret is to get someone to pay you to laugh.
Eitan: Well how come she isn't laughing anymore?
Yasha: She's frightened.
Eitan: Frightened for what?
Yasha: For you, for her, for both of you.
Eitan: Well, if she's like that now, Yasha, what's she going to be like in the future?
Yasha: Future? Do me a favour, Eitan, what future?
Eitan: I've got my contract with the club.
Yasha: Peanuts! You've had a fortune in your feet for years and who gets it - the club and the punters.
Eitan: Well, I'm happy.
Yasha: And Nira? The statues she used to make for laughs, they're making her rich. And what about the game you play for laughs, is that making you rich?
Eitan: Ah, come on, Yasha, I'm an amateur.
Yasha: LIke, Nira - become a professional. Lose the match.
Eitan: Lose the match?
Yasha: What are the odds against you losing? I'll tell you: four to one.
Eitan: Oh, don't start getting clever with me, Yasha
Yasha: Start getting clever with yourself, boy. We can make a fortune, you and me. Anyone taking bets against you losing, can find a thousand takers.
Eitan: Lose for my club?
Yasha: You've spent your life winning for your club, and what have they given you? Nothing but promises. So now the club loses and you, Eitan, become a first-time winner.
Eitan: I'll see you around, Yasha.
Yasha: You like Nira's new car? Well, that's taking her right out of your life, boy. Out - for good. But if you had that car
[he indicates a convertible]
Yasha: you could go with her. Only you'd be in the driving seat. It's yours as a down payment. And I'll find you a job. Think about, Eitan.
Eitan: I've thought about it, Yasha.
Yasha: It's funny; she's going up just as you're coming down.
Eitan: Look, Yasha, I won't lose the match. I won't lose, Nira. In fact, I won't lose anything I want to keep.
Yasha: Keep? Keep? Don't make me laugh. You can't keep yourself in chewing gum, let along Nira in the style to which she's going. I mean, face it, Eitan, you can't afford her. She's gone. Like everything else in your life, you've left it too late.
I'm amazed that little gem of a movie should surface on Netflix, it's grainy and looks like it's been mastered from an old VHS videotape, well done Netflix for this.
Back to the movie , Its a strange film, filmed in Israel that hotbed of football in 1970. Harris spends the film shouting in an over the top dramatic way , he likes acting obviously. Directed by Harris so he must have felt a great affection for the film. Scored by Johnny Harris (no relation) who under pins each and every scene with queasy strings and orchestration along with cheesy ballads, one of which is co written by Maurice Gibbs. What of the film, its all pretty obvious and cliched but given that its badly acted, poor continuity its actually very enjoyable for all those reason, if you like football films its a 7/10.
