For "Utopia"
impossible to find "nice"
" 5 hours from Paris "
My first is film. D'amour uncertain, improbable. All politics is absent from the images. It is a couple who dreamed to see Paris. With old-fashioned, nostalgic songs, according to the tastes and colors.
After the blood has unfortunately sunk off Gaza m second one results in a deprogramming "symbolic" of the film does not contain a second on the conflict between Israelis and Palestinens. Not a single word of propaganda. No shadow of a suspicion of manipulation.
My very is a France where the artist is targeted because of his passport which would make it complicit in events to support its government.
Here little, we had a socialist politician transformed himself as a knight of morality and, Amiens , decreed a ban on an exhibition.
Utopia Now, these "defenders of the cinema authors' establishing a sort between them and posing the condition that they have a government change its policy ... They'll have a job with Iranian filmmakers, Chinese, American, Egyptian, Russian, Congolese, Turkish, Vietnamese, Cubans, to name a few ...
My first.
Synopsis:
- "Only 5 hours flight from Paris, a suburb of Tel Aviv, two solitary meet. He is a taxi driver. She is a piano teacher. Him never left Israel, it is in transit between two countries. He has abandoned all ambition, she gave up her illusions.
Both fear the plane that awaits them: he has a phobia of air and has yet s 'fly to Paris, where be celebrated a few days bar mitzvah of her son, she does not know whether to take the plane journey across Canada her husband should move. Their love story is a simple stop it without aftermath or the beginning of a new life? "
Send-Alire:
-" A five hours from Paris, directed Leonid Prudovsky is an Israeli feature film that stands today works from that country, by the fact that the filmmaker makes no political implications of his film, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (and wider unrest in the Middle East) there is mentioned in any way.
action could take place anywhere where else in the world: indeed this comedy tells the tale of a man and a woman, forties, awkward, afraid to confess their feelings. "
Diagonal Montpellier
- "The romance that develops between Yigal Lina and borrows nothing to pictures of American romantic comedy. Here is the complexity of relationships, described with tenderness and humor, which sets the tone. Buoyed by two outstanding actors (Dror Keren in the role of Yigal, perfect in his role as a man discreet charm, hesitant and sometimes low, and Elena Yaralova beautiful and moving, in perfect romantic piano teacher and frustrated by a career as a concert ever), "A 5 hours from Paris " clashes in Israeli cinema usually more focused on social issues, political or historical.
undeniable proof of its universality, its maturity and its astonishing diversity.
Music is at the heart of this film full of charm and sensitivity, among oldies French Adamo, Alain Barrier, Joe Dassin ... Russian folk songs and sonatas of Beethoven and Chopin. Each corresponding to the characters that will cross and love in this film. "
My second.
Utopia:
- "Our gesture is symbolic and punctual. This collegial decision has a specific meaning: that our disapproval of the Israeli aggression against pacifists ships sailed into Gaza.
We have nothing against this nice little film, we commit ourselves to be programmed at the first sign of lifting the Israeli blockade of Gaza. "
NB: Just a word to say, in my opinion, how elegant is the formula of "nice little movie" set by these "defenders of auteur cinema." Makes you wonder why they had previously scheduled a feature film also lacks size.
Patrick Troudet:
- " We learned the raid at a time when we did our program which included Five hours from Paris. It is a charming comedy which would have had fun writing a text which, on the instant, seemed impossible. So we made the decision to de-program, to attract attention and express our disapproval. It was a symbolic gesture, touching this film produced with the help of the official organ of production of Israel. "
(Utopia Bordeaux).
The Inrocks:
-" The Utopia network, specializing in the exploitation of auteur cinema, intends to ignore the film's release, which is scheduled for release in France next June 23 in a quarantine room. Utopia provincial cinemas were therefore deprogrammed comedy, hearing and assert their disapproval of Israeli actions.
A decision that may be controversial within the Israeli community and more broadly to a public concerned about the respect and freedom visibility works, especially since the film seems devoid of partisan politics. "
NB: What is meant by "Israeli community?" The Jews of France? There are definitely issues that fall over the doctoring of confusion.
"If you are wise, you go to the cinema in Paris when they find our movie creep " (DR).
My everything.
Freedom Observatory:
- "The punishment of an Israeli author returns to the force to relate policy and state action which is a national. "
Amos Schupak:
- "Strangely the film has deprogrammed yet no political character. It is a trite romantic comedy whose protagonists are a driver taxi and a piano teacher who meet in a suburb of Tel Aviv.
Nothing is therefore support the Israeli government, nothing that relates to the events of recent days. No blind fanaticism, no ideological blindness.
Boycotting this love story is ridiculous in its infancy. In addition, the cultural boycott is absurd as it goes against the principles of freedom and openness that promotes Utopia. "
(Rue 89).
Ludi Boeken, directed
- "The money from the state of Israel, Federated by the Israeli Film Fund , helps the production of films that do not represent the Israeli government. In fact, excluding non-political films, this fund has helped to produce Israeli films of the major challenges in recent years and especially Ajami, Waltz with Bashir , Lebanon, etc ....
The right and the extreme Israeli right are not attacking the bottom to silence the filmmakers, partly due to this background, struggling against the current government policy in Israel.
Boycotting the artists is useless, step into this direction only serves the interests of the censors. Throughout history artists have used money from the state to critique. Metaphorically or directly by the regimes under which they live, the artists are very often freedom fighters. "
