Hofshat Kaits (2007)
too slow a movement

This movie is a modern re-play of Abraham's sacrifice. The devoted Rabbi, like the biblical patriarch Abraham, a father in old age, dedicates his life to the service of G'd , without any questioning of the preferences and priorities, human relations demand, in his case, the relationship with his only son of very young age and his sensitive wife, the people dearest to him. The movie hints to the biblical myth already at a rather early stage of the narrative and prepares the tragedy. The rhythm though is too slow, to keep the regular spectator interested and I presume, most will leave before the final dramatic development. The movie actually opens and questions the same moral religious question as Abraham's sacrifice does.
