Amos Gitaï
Enfant terrible of Israeli cinema, a veteran of the Kippur War, Amos Gitai began a trilogy in 1995 dealing with Israeli cities: Devarim, a collective drama set in Tel Aviv, Yom Yom, about a mixed Jewish-Arab family in Haifa, and Kadosh, about two woman in the ultra-Orthodox quarter of Jerusalem. In 2000, he recreated his battle experiences during the ‘73 war in Kippur. In Kedma he evoked the arrival of Jewish refugees in Palestine in May 1948. Politics and esthetics, sequence shots and parallel narratives, freedom of tone, harshness and humor, confused reality and formal consistency—Gitai’s films are rooted at once in fiction and in documentary.
