Movie No. 64 (2014): BETHLEHEM
Bethlehem (2013)
Director: Yuval Adler
Cast: Tsahi Halevi, Shadi Mar'i, Hitham Omari
In Hebrew and Arabic, with English subtitles
I don't know much about the Israel-Palestine-Hamas conflict, which is on the backdrop of the drama that unfolds in this movie. I only care about the characters involved in what can be called a spy drama with the requisite elements of a thriller. But, it really is the character study that needs attention. While some background stories are not enough to understand the actions of some characters, the movie still sustains the intrigue that it has established at the start of the film, which has kept me glued to scenes after scenes. This can be attributed to the well-written script. The cinematography is near precise. The performances of the two major cast are impeccable.
