Hatuna Meuheret (2001)

English title: Late Marriage.

A family of Georgian-Israelis worry about their son Zaza, who is 31 and is seeing a divorcee with a kid from her previous marriage. They try to set Zaza up with numerous young women.

I guess this is a comment on doctorate students (of philosophy in this case, but if Marx is correct the subject of interest is irrelevant). There is an attempt, at mid-movie, to establish a kind of philosophical framework in which the existence of love, metaphysically speaking, is put into question. Being an Israeli movie, it may be equally well seen as an analysis of terrorism (the most prominent terrorist in the movie being an obese woman). Under that angle, it seems to be claiming that terrorism works. A dull movie.

Rating: 31
