Synopsis

Bethlehem portrays the complex relationship between an Israeli Secret Service officer and his teenage Palestinian informant. Shuttling back and forth between conflicting points of view, the film is a raw portrayal of characters torn apart by competing loyalties and impossible moral dilemmas.

Our take

Diving into a tangled moral quagmire, Bethlehem is a work of political nuance and clockwork suspense, all the more admirable for approaching its subject with a lack of easy answers. A prizewinner at the 2013 Venice Film Festival and Israel’s selection for the Academy Awards®!
