the trial of Viviane Amsalem
Jun 01, 2017ProfessionalPilgrim rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
An incredibly good psycho-religious drama, played out, one witness at a time, in a claustrophobic courtroom, closed to the general public. Be sure to watch the interviews (bonus material) with Ronit and her brother. Remember, despite its vaunted democracy, Israel, just like its Muslim neighbours, does not permit civil marriages or civil divorces. Everything has to be done through (dis)organized, intolerant, misogynistic religious officials. The "professional believers." I cannot believe that Ronit died in April, 2017, from cancer. She was one of the world's great movie actresses. Sit tibi terra levis, Ronit!
