Seret hatuna

I missed this when it played at The 2010 Boston Jewish Film Fest, but luckily, I was able to get the DVD through my Minuteman Library Network. (in MA, USA).

Though I was intrigued by the opening scene, it took a few minutes before i was hooked, but soon i was smiling and the smile pretty much stayed there.The premise is of a Tel Aviv bride who, on her way to her evening wedding, gets cold feet and spends a lot of the film ruminating and talking with the 2 employees of a closed coffee shop, while her Love deals with her not showing up. In addition to the main bride/groom plot, there are a number of other couple conversations that reflect many different kinds of relationships and create a much richer film. The story is compelling, the direction is tight and the actors are all perfect in their parts. Finally, it is the warmth and authenticity of the two leads that take the well written screenplay to the heights of a fully realized, touching ,charming and thought provoking experience. With a story just quirky enough, i believed it all and enjoyed myself immensely.
