7:30 p.m. @ JCC Aviva, My Love (Aviva Ahuvati) Directed by Shemi Zarhin (Israel, 2006) * 107 minutes * Hebrew with English subtitles A mirror, a toothache, fish cooked with lemon: for Aviva these are the small bits of reality that spark her imagination, compelling her to write thoughtful, magical stories that she hopes one day to publish. A pathway out of her provincial life appears when she meets a well-known author who believes her writing has promise and agrees to help edit her work. As Aviva begins to suspect that the author's intentions are less than noble, she is forced to make crucial decisions that pit her family's interests against her own dreams. Written and directed by Shemi Zarhin (Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi). Winner of six Awards of the Israeli Film Academy, including Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Director. |
