Not in Tel Aviv
Not in Tel Aviv
dir. Nony Geffen
Israel, 2012 - 82
When a repressed high-school teacher loses his job, he decides to pull his entire life down with it. Within the span of a few days, he will kidnap a teenage student, reconnect with his old high-school crush, forgive an old friend, kill his mother, take on a rabid group of feminists, a movie star, the police, and the stifling conventions of his boring small town.
A series of deadpan jokes evolving around a character who seems bent on copying Vincent Gallo at his most mannered. A drama, a dark comedy, a love triangle, a crime story and much, much more. An adventure like this could only happen to people who are not in Tel Aviv.
