Sublet (2020) was co-written and directed by Eytan Fox.
John Benjamin Hickey plays Michael, a middle-aged travel writer for the New York Times. Michael visits Tel Aviv as part of his work.
He sublets an apartment from Tomer (Niv Nissim). Michael invites Tomer to stay in the apartment, and Tomer becomes his guide to the real Tel Aviv.
Michael is gay. Tomer is young and bisexual. The plot revolves around whether their friendship will turn to intimacy.
I enjoyed this film. The actors are excellent, and I learned more about non-tourist Tel Aviv.
We saw this movie virtually as part of the always outstanding Rochester Jewish Film Festival. The movie has a tepid IMDb rating of 6.9. I thought that it was better than that, and rated it 8.
