Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In Yafo, the predominantly Arab area of Tel Aviv, a young, morose Israeli Jew murders a female pawnbroker, resulting in moral collapse and a first glimmer of redemption.
Using video for the first time, Nina Menkes dissolves her quest for the feminine and explores Jewish identity. In a Dostoyevsky-inspired story that follows a man into existential darkness, Didi Fire is her new nomad, casting a hungry, rakish silhouette in the streets, bedrooms, and bars of Tel Aviv.
