Five minutes south of Tel Aviv….
Astonishing that this is a debut feature from two young directors. The film, named for the Jaffa neighborhood where most of it takes place, chronicles the story of several neighborhood residents who tread through life amid rampant crime, strict Arab family structures and rules, clan law, revenge killings, harsh police and racism, and the growing Jewish presence in the neighborhood. It could have easily fallen onto the abundant clichés which generally characterize films that delve on this subject matter – but instead, there are no fingers pointed, no blame set and no far-fetched allegories. The focal point is always on individual human beings, and the injustices and tragedies that constrict their paths.
A successful piece of propaganda
This won’t be a popular review. That doesn’t matter, a few people will see the point.There are many fine Israeli movies, but this isn’t one of them. Yes, the movie has lots of qualities. As far as the movie experience goes, I liked it a lot. But at the end of a movie that portrays conflict, it always pays to step back and ask what ideology may subtly have been embedded.
So when the movie ends, what remains? Every single time a law is broken in this film, it is broken by an Arab. In this movie, Jews never break the law. It’s easy not to notice because the stories are so dense and immersive. Many people will walk out with thoughts such as “yeah, it’s a complex situation”. Subtly imprinted underneath that thought will be an other thought: that Arabs (who break every law all the time) basically make life hard for the Jews (who never break the law).
Don’t tell me about the mixed ethnicity of the directors, that’s irrelevant.
If you want something a bit deeper, something that looks at why things are the way they are, go read the Eisner-award-winning “Palestine” graphic novel by Joe Sacco, or “Jerusalem” by Guy Delisle.
