Agnon's Etrog in "Ushpizin"

Scene's from Shuli Rand's film "Ushpizin" (2004) which particularly echo S.Y. Agnon's short story "Etrogo shel Oto Tzadik" (in "HaEish vehaEitzim"); translated as "That Tzaddik's Etrog" (in "A Book That Was Lost" - Toby Press).

Saw this, very good !

[KingOystar]

I love how the two men were like "uhhhh" after he paid for the Esrog!

[HadasahB]

@KingOystar passion!



[AmosPressley]

Note the love. He buys his wife the earrings because he loves her. And he buys Hashem the best etrog for the same reason.

[fantinlatourful]

@KingOystar yes, but he had to give back some of the gift that he received, and the etrog was a metaphor for all the good things ( his wife returning, his baby son, his faith) that he would receive if he passed these difficult tests.

This is such a sweet movie.

Sheesh spending 1000 on an Etrog?! that is nuts!
