My movie selection

I had the time last night to watch a couple of interesting - but different - long and short movies.

In this order:

Lost in Tel Aviv is a sour-sweet animation movie about a couple of young graficians living in Tel Aviv, looking to promote their Guystershow movie, against all and everything: from the hectic taxi drivers in Tel Aviv, the changing mood of the financial system, the pressure of the family, the daily accidents and everything spontaneous occuring into your life. I felt everything as very human and simple. Sometimes our life is a cartoon, because of the simplicity of its complicated ways.

My favorite of the evening/day/week was Elyokim, a short story about love, friendship and betrayal in Mea Sharim and the unfairness of the limits of our dreams.

Willingly is another short movie. The topic: the divorce as the priviledge of the man, who can play with this right, use it as a way of psychological pressure against the woman. Sometimes might be too late, or sometimes - as in the case of this movie - it is just the beginning of the woman's awakening. Interesting exploration of the divorce procedures, but also an interesting soul lecture.
