Ha- Buah (2006)

English title: The Bubble.

A sexual relationship between an Israeli man and a Palestinian man in Tel Aviv faces several obstacles.

This film is a proof that it is hard to find a completely stupid movie, even if the filmmaker is not very smart, as seems to be the case here. The reason for this is that by telling a story he inevitably shows the reality of things, even if it is partially buried under a pile of bullshit. The deepest political thought which The Bubble seems to imply is "make love, not war"; this may sound offensive to anyone above 10 years of age, but despite this simplistic notion, which culminates in an ending worthy of 19th-century Romanticism at its maddest, certains facts about the Israeli and Arab cultures emerge which speak for themselves. Anyone with a perceptive eye will notice those facts.
