The Israeli movie “The Bubble”, a creation of director Eytan Fuchs/Fox and his screenplay-writer husband of 18 years, is a MUST Eye. I’ve had the DVD since August 2007, because I ordered the Dwelling 2 (PAL) edition directly from Israel. I like it even more every time I witness it. In the film festival circuit, it has been getting standing ovations, and for fine reason.

The film works well on a number of levels: It’s a very touching blissful admire account, told without coyness or artifice. It’s a very revealing ogle into both sides of a conflict most of us only hear about on the news. It’s a admire letter to the unusual, hedonistic city that is Tel Aviv. It’s a portrait of a group of charming young friends who care deeply for each other, and who I found I really cared about too.
It’s also a pleasing plea for peace. At times amusing, shaded, touching, and always thought-provoking, it’s a movie that stays in your thoughts long after it’s over.

I have to say I like it even more than “Brokeback Mountain” — which had a number of aspects I did not like. Aid in the days when I opinion the Academy Awards actually meant anything, I might have hoped “The Bubble” would salvage Best Foreign Film. But now that it’s obvious that an Oscar has no sincere meaning as an award for fair quality, I hope the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs will step in and bear the gap. But you must witness this movie!
I’ve been a fan of Eytan Fox since I saw the tragic like sage, “Yossi and Jagger”. I wasn’t aware of “The Bubble” until I saw a review of it in a unusual catalogue. As luck would have it, a local video store fair added a copy and I snatched it up.
Thankfully, I wasn’t disappointed although I must admit, the inevitable ending broke my heart. The epic follows three young Israelis who portion an apartment in Tel Aviv. From their history, it seems there has been a revolving door of failed romances. However, after a fateful meeting at a checkpoint between Noam, one of the roommates, and Ashraf, a Palestinian, a good fancy begins to blossom. Fox makes the romance very loyal and watching the two young men from very different worlds plunge in savor is handled tenderly—-a deep disagreement to the violence that surrounds the city they live in (their perfect itsy-bitsy “bubble”) .
Though Ashraf has no Israeli ID, the roommates sustain him in their apartment and arrange a job for him to quit in the city. Once his identity is blown, though, he panics and returns home to prepare for the upcoming wedding of his sister. His sister, Rana, is engaged to Jihad, a radical, who gain terrorism is the means to getting the message across to the Israelis. In a couple of base events that affects both Noam and Ashraf, the ruin of the two lovers short-lived utopia is plot in motion. The final scene between Noam and Ashraf was heart rendering and left me unsettled and wishing that the troubles in that very complex and volatile location could be solved once and for all. But as Ashraf’s protest over says “They probably never will.”
Its a shame that the Oscars didn’t peer an extraordinary film like this in their “foreign film” category. This film is as reliable as “Brokeback Mountain” or any of the other contenders and, in my thought, shows their continued closed-mindedness to contented themed movies. The moments between Noam and Ashraf are actual and as loving as you’ll peruse in any other film dealing with romance. By the ending, you are praying the two will net a draw to be together, away from the detestable killings and death that seems to be a share of every day life in the middle east.
Three of the actors were standouts. Ohan Knoller, also of “Yossi and Jagger” is very qualified as the mellow, music loving Noam. Knoller gives Noam a very layed befriend and easy going persona, who’s also sensitive and kind. He’s a very charming actor and I examine forward to seeing him in more roles. Also, the heavenly and equally charming, Daniela Wircer, (as one character calls her “an Israeli Carrie Bradshaw”), who is looking for Mr. Lawful but keeps ending up with losers (although Mr. Fair is true under her nose!) Finally, Yousef Sweid, as the beautiful Palestinian who steals Noam’s heart. Sweid does a broad job as a young man torn between his first staunch worship and his culture, which views homosexuality with abhorrence and disdain. His sister’s reaction was so sunless for me to glimpse, showing that this young man had no one in his corner in the world in which he grew up.
Some will regain the ending very controversial but I found it honest dark and an melancholy reality of our world today. I hope you will remove time to behold this movie and I hope you appreciate it as distinguished as I did. I will certainly be adding this film to my dvd collection. Highly recommended.
