Had this movie been made in the time that it allegedly portrays, I would understand, and it would be simply a statement of the times.
However, this movie was made during a time when homosexuality, at least in Tel Aviv, is not only widely accepted, but celebrated.
Tel Aviv is probably the "gayest" city on earth. There are gay couples with children, everywhere. Pride, is huge.
So... why this movie? What are you trying to tell me? That people in 1989 were conflicted? No kidding! That the super-macho Israeli society was... not very accepting, and men who questioned their own sexuality were tortured souls?
The plot and the characters were, VERY predictable. I have seen this
story so many times before.
Waste of 70 minutes of my life that I will NEVER get back. The only reason it was not a 1* was that it was at least, from a technical standpoint, well written, and shot, at thankfully SHORT!
