Jellyfish (2007) Original title: Meduzot: Meduzot (the Hebrew word for Jellyfish) tells the story of three very different Israeli women living in Tel Aviv whose intersecting stories weave an unlikely portrait of modern Israeli life. (7.0)
Directors: Shira Geffen, Etgar Keret
Writer: Shira Geffen
Stars: Sarah Adler, Nikol Leidman and Gera Sandler
Languages: Hebrew|English (w/ English subtitles)
For those of us who hear of Israel only in the context of Middle East political crises, this movie provides a glimpse of the trials and tribulations of ordinary lives. The poem, repeated twice towards the end of the movie, about Jellyfish is quite poignant and ties the various stories together. Very well written and directed. My Rating: 7.0
