Om den här filmen

Based on Amos Oz's international best-selling autobiography and starring Natalie Portman in her directorial debut, A Tale of Love and Darkness follows the beautiful story about a son's relationship with his mother set during the end of the British Mandate for Palestine and the early years of the State of Israel. The film details the young man's experiences growing up during a time of war, his birth of becoming a writer, and looking at what happens when the stories we tell, become the stories we live.

Betyg och recensioner

An propagandist portrayal of the creation of Israel that demonizes the inhabitants of the land, the Palestinians. Diluted in the personal/psychological struggle of an Eastern European woman who moved to newly founded Israel.

A faithful, respectful distillation of a beautifully written book. If you read the book, you can see why Portman wanted to make this. Excellent, luminous work.

You can guess from the title what you're getting into. It's well shot and has a passionate story - it is slowly paced tho.
