israeli movie :aviva my love

i recently saw the israeli movie aviva my love. its the story of a woman who is trying to pursue a writing career while trying to support her unemployed, depressed husband and her precocious children. one of the actors from the band's visit was also in this film. this actor, whose name escapes me, certainly has no reason to worry about being typecast. in the band's visit he played a sympathetic divorced arab while in this movie he plays a washed up jewish writer. what is refreshing about this movie is that none of the reviews do it justice nor do they prepare you for the grand performance the movie delivers. this movie is about a woman who really wants to become a published writer and about how corruption in business, even in a creative field can fracture one's dreams. and of course there is a subplot about how no matter how much aviva thinks she mut survive on her own she realizes that she can cope better with her loved one's rallying support. lastly this movie helps us view israeli society as people who have hopes and dreams just like the rest of the world while living with daily threats of terror.
