Although there is not much power in this movie there is something in here. This movie, whether it intended to or not, is poetic from the beginning to end. The untrained eye will not fully grasp it, but if one searches for it he or she will surely find it.
What a masterpiece! People ostracise others because they are uncomfortable with the unfamiliar and too arrogant about themselves.
The movie was so intense, so are the metaphors! The big giant metal door to the shop looked like an obstacle; the meat being butchered looked like the victimised characters; the gossiping moral crusaders only showed their backs or across the street hiding behind anonymity; a love scene reflected in the mirror as if it is just an image...
I dont know the Jerusalem culture, but the bible tell us to love. So why is it a sin to love someone of the same sex. THIS MOVIE have a very strong message and made me think a lot.
@Ckenguere You will never ever see it in real. Jews for centuries have been the only ethnic group in the entire mankind population that has been having miserable percentage of homosexuals. Nowadays there are of course a little bit more fags Jews but comparatively to other nations it’s still an extremely small amount of people within the Jewish nation. Sorry to disappoint you asshole.
Hey I just bought the DVD from Ebay and it was the original version with English subtitle. But make sure your DVD player is region free. Otherwise you would need to get the U.S version from Amazon which would be cheaper than Ebay.
There is nothing wrong to be gay, gays were created in this for a reason just like plants. But to be adulterous is very wrong which the two characters in this movie had committed
It is not a history of love ... is it a history of pain and expiation plunged for weight of the sentence of those who are thinking about having the god's word in his mouths .. for that they cannot open his own eyes
No es una historia de amor... es una historia de dolor y expiacion sumergida por el peso del señalamiento de los que creen tene la palabra de dios en sus bocas..por que no pueden abrir sus propios ojos..
Personally all films which make people more aware of our differences allows each one of us to think about them and discuss them. I also find this love affair touching and sad for all in question.
Having your own POOOORRR Wife and going and BETRAYING HER with a poor young guy! Being a Husband and a Gay behind that poor woman! achhtfuuuuuuuu to your face! what a shameful man!. If you are gay be gay sure! but you have children! a poor wife at home! what is her fault? why did you marry then? ha?ha bastard. This is 100% True story! Arabs,Turks of Turkey are like that! Afghans remember in Afghanistan they have "Bachebazi"=Married men,having SEX with little boys!. this movie suits Islamic World
@xOxKurdParstxOx i am gay myself and i completely agree, the bad thing is there are men who are gay or at least bisexual who are pressured into marrying women and ahving children and they cannot hide the fact that they are gay. BU I COMPLETELY AGREE, I HAVE ALWAYS DISLIKED MEN WHO ARE MARRIED AND WITH CHILDREN CHEATING ON THEIR WIVES WITH OTHER MEN. AS A GAY MAN, IT MAKES ME VERY VERY SAD.
hahahahhaa I swear I know girls, they look at gay porn and masturbate!!!!!!!!!! and guys in the same who like Lesbian porn! Anyway I beleive no nation is more anti Gay than Arabs! even though 60% of Saudi Arabia Yemen...gulf countries=Gay! can you beleive it? and they are Islamists and say we kill gays but these mullahs are BIGGEST gays worldwide and pedophiles!
So is this just the male version of Sodot? Kinda ironic that each was led by each of the stars of Hashir Shelanu (Ania Bukstein and Ran Danker). But while many were drawn to Sodot to see Ania Bukstein naked, I don't really see any appeal to this one.
Isnt it most of the Rabbis are Pedos?, and now we are seeing the real face, most of the men are Gay and next comes a Hollywood movie with their propaganda that...Lesbians are great people..
WOW wonderful way to ruin humanity,especially ruining Male female relationship.
I heard that Most of the zionist Food companies MIX sulphur and ammonium to kill Sperm cells in Male so that they would become GAY.
I see its coming--A GAY WORLD and GAY TEMPLE AT JERUSALEM..with SATANIC Worship..
Movie was good. I am a Jew and have no problems with homosexuals, but Israel is too gay-friendly. Homosexuality is not good. Ran Danker is cool. I am so glad that Ran Danker Heterosexual is
In my opinion the movie was pretty one-dimensional... nothing more to expect than written on the back of the cover. Above that you'll never find a single GAY guy like played by Ran Danker in this world... it is so obvious that, in private life, he's not the lonely, shy gay guy no one loves. He just has this self-confident cool guy radiation you only find in straight guys. Anyway, movies don't have to be realistic but it's always disappointing again.
Why does Israel cinema always lack imagination when it comes to developing the conflict of a story? They simply choose something that is an obvious taboo and go with that.
Do they lack the expertise to make a gripping film out of a conflict that is more subtle?
@IWannabeJew ,They push their Own Agenda ,and their view of the world.....ISRAEL dreams that one day in World there will no Male and Female relationship...every one would eventually Turn up either GAY or LESBO..isnt it a great plot to stop humans from reproducing and end Human race...
He just plunges into religion and this microcosm formed by the haredi neighbourhood, where he's got everything, and nothing at the same time. By accepting his weakness he kind of kills himself, at least mentally. He's not going back to surface, and will never do anymore. It's only a metaphore.
@007badboy88 Gay Jews is nothing new. The powerful Alexandrian Jews who were hobnobbing with the Roman elite were probably engaging in a little Peanut Butter Jelly Time, too.
@necrosny It is unholy and is sad to see it has been done. There are many mitzvot (commandments) amongst the Jewish people. Some uphold nearly all of them. Some uphold, possibly, G-d forbid, none of them. Most fall somewhere in between and hopefully are striving to improve. Please don't imagine those responsible for the film represent the majority of the Jews. To many, seeing such a production is a disappointment.

Please don't imagine those responsible for the film represent the majority of the Jews. To many, seeing such a production is a disappointment.
@mikedilv Clarification, the ACTS of homosexuality is unholy (men laying together). What the story of the film is, I am unaware. As I have noticed so many international films are true gay act films, I have not seen the film and cannot verify if it illustrates gay acts or the struggle to remain true to Torah and remain "act" free.
@necrosny Generally Israel is a very secular and liberal country and there are many gay themed Israeli films and tv shows. Many clips of them are on youtube. The only difference in this one is that it is based on an othrodox jewish community instead of that typical Tel Aviv party scene so it has more meaning.
Also what needs to be noted is that it's the secular Israelis who made this film not the ultra orthodox jews, so it's like from a different planet comparing to the film makers own culture
@IWannabeJew Well I never said anything about gay behaviour. I just said the film has more meaning in giving people something to think about, since it has a different point of view.
@necrosny Let me explain something to you. I am a religious Jew and am ashamed of this movie and want to apologize to the world for the desecration of
G-d's name because of the disgusting film work of some ignorant one of our nation who made this movie. The movie maker obviously does not have "Fear of G-d" , nor does he abide by the Torah. BUt that does not mean he cannot learn, or repent, or that this movie has any credibility or redeeming qualities.
@necrosny - Because we do not want to desecrate the word, G-d, so we put a (-). Jews take very seriously to G-d's names, which is why HaShem- literally The Name- is used and not other names that are reserved for prayer. And in Synagogues prayers are said, that is all.
Need to watch it. It gave a feeling of making right decisions and being carefully with having marriage or children because you feel what you feel and can't make anything to change it. G'd Bless and good plot
I saw this film yesterday evening in Exeter. Can I just say wow. Its incredible. If you havent watched it and are thinking about it I would REALLY encourage you to. Literally one of the best films I've seened in a long time. Its very convincing, beautifully filmed and amazingly acted. 5*s deffinatley. Be prepared to cry though!!
I'm so happy there's going to be a major film release that explores orthodox Jewish sexuality, but I couldn't stop thinking of the fake trailer for "Satans Alley". I don't know what a parody before an event is called--pre-parody, possibly.
Why can't people capitalize "God" these days? Do not fall for the sophormoric diversion that upper- and lowercase letters came into being in European languages only in the 8th-9th centuries. Language is an involuntary contract among those who use it and in English the use of lowercase letters for unique nouns (the sun, the earth, justice, &c.) is only for those things which are inanimate and/or abstract. God is a personality, both animate and animator.
@andrjsh Just as "mother" is capitalized when you are using it as a name, and lower case when used otherwise, "god" is equally flexible. For some people, it represents a personal, familiar thing, and for other people it is remote. The distinction is worthwhile because it tells you something about the speaker.
@Rossb69 Cool! I saw it tonight. to be honest I didn't really enjoyed it, it seems that some of the plot is not that believable, also the time frame is not that clear. But def. it was worth seeing it. Cheers!
I think this is such an amazing movie, the context being controversial in a religious sense...it def is something i can relate to as my partner is jewish & not knowing much about the writings of the tora, this was a real eye opener:-). does anyone know if there is going to be a blu ray release?.
@bjarrod85 Thanks for your kind comments. We're very happy to releasing it here in the UK. We're focusing on our theatrical release, it will be in cinemas as of May 14th..
...but we are VERY happy to say we will be releasing it on Blu-ray later on this year. Check our website and sign up to the newsletter for up to date info :) Thanks again.
Esto pasa por ke no se deciden que es lo que quieren, y hacen infelices a terceras personas, muchas veces la sociedad te orilla a vivir una doble vida, pero a final de cuentas tu tienes la desicion de hacer o no daño a los demas, antes de casarte define tus sentimientos y vive la vida al maximo con lo que realmente te haga feliz, la sociedad no va a recuperarte el tiempo perdido ni va a arreglar las vidas que destruyas, incluso la tuya misma, vive tu sexualidad con responsabilidad.

@necrosny Let me explain something to you. I am a religious Jew and am ashamed of this movie and want to apologize to the world for the desecration of
G-d's name because of the disgusting film work of some ignorant one of our nation who made this movie. The movie maker obviously does not have "Fear of G-d" , nor does he abide by the Torah. BUt that does not mean he cannot learn, or repent, or that this movie has any credibility or redeeming qualities.

As a straight, non-religious Gentile, I think it would be quite fun to have gay nights in the synagogue.
On a more serious note, why do you say G-d and not God? And have you watched "Judea Declares War on Germany"?

@necrosny - Because we do not want to desecrate the word, G-d, so we put a (-). Jews take very seriously to G-d's names, which is why HaShem- literally The Name- is used and not other names that are reserved for prayer. And in Synagogues prayers are said, that is all.

Need to watch it. It gave a feeling of making right decisions and being carefully with having marriage or children because you feel what you feel and can't make anything to change it. G'd Bless and good plot

I'm so happy there's going to be a major film release that explores orthodox Jewish sexuality, but I couldn't stop thinking of the fake trailer for "Satans Alley". I don't know what a parody before an event is called--pre-parody, possibly.

Why can't people capitalize "God" these days? Do not fall for the sophormoric diversion that upper- and lowercase letters came into being in European languages only in the 8th-9th centuries. Language is an involuntary contract among those who use it and in English the use of lowercase letters for unique nouns (the sun, the earth, justice, &c.) is only for those things which are inanimate and/or abstract. God is a personality, both animate and animator.

@andrjsh Just as "mother" is capitalized when you are using it as a name, and lower case when used otherwise, "god" is equally flexible. For some people, it represents a personal, familiar thing, and for other people it is remote. The distinction is worthwhile because it tells you something about the speaker.

@Rossb69 Cool! I saw it tonight. to be honest I didn't really enjoyed it, it seems that some of the plot is not that believable, also the time frame is not that clear. But def. it was worth seeing it. Cheers!

I think this is such an amazing movie, the context being controversial in a religious sense...it def is something i can relate to as my partner is jewish & not knowing much about the writings of the tora, this was a real eye opener:-). does anyone know if there is going to be a blu ray release?.

Esto pasa por ke no se deciden que es lo que quieren, y hacen infelices a terceras personas, muchas veces la sociedad te orilla a vivir una doble vida, pero a final de cuentas tu tienes la desicion de hacer o no daño a los demas, antes de casarte define tus sentimientos y vive la vida al maximo con lo que realmente te haga feliz, la sociedad no va a recuperarte el tiempo perdido ni va a arreglar las vidas que destruyas, incluso la tuya misma, vive tu sexualidad con responsabilidad.
