Ahed's Knee

Feeling the stress from the imminent loss of his terminally ill mother, a middle-aged, controversial filmmaker (Avshalom Pollak) ruefully headed to Arava for a government-sponsored chalk talk about his latest work. Asked to sign a waiver regarding no-go areas of discussion, his pent-up frustrations--with the circumstances of his nation, as well as his own--will boil over to stunning effect. Nadav Lapid's personal opus co-stars Nur Fibak, Yoram Honig. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Hebrew; Subtitles: English; featurette; theatrical trailers. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
