Carmel

August Auteurs • 1h 32m

Directed by Amos Gitai • Arthouse • 2009 • Israel, France • Hebrew, French, Arabic with English subtitles

“Carmel” is Amos Gitai's deeply personal and resonant meditation on Jewish and Israeli identity. Using both fiction and documentary techniques, Gitai links his family history to ancient history. The cycles of violence are never-ending, but so are the bonds of family. Gitai's wife Rivka reads letters from his mother, linking generations of Jews and Israelis within the warm embrace of memory.
