Walk on Water
Director: Eytan Fox
Starring: Lior Ashkenazi, Knut Berger, Carolina Peters, Gidon Shemer, Carola Regnier
At times too movieish, yet Ashkenazi creates a memorable figure: a spy who operates - admirably - out of the most unyielding nationalist conviction, only to learn that he needs to let some of that conviction go.
Hits a bulls-eye.
There's something happening here and it isn't exactly clear. What is clear is that Eytan Fox may yet make a great film for the 21st century.
Compassionate and marvelously acted, although a subplot about the gay grandson slows the story down for a while.
Remains gripping until the final 15 minutes, when a series of sudden, unjustified plot twists leave us shaking our heads.
