AVIVA MY LOVE (Aviva Ahuvati) Shemi Zarhin, 2006, 107 min., Israel, Hebrew with English subtitles This sharp and darkly funny drama broke box-office records in Israel. The magnificent Asi Levi plays hard-working Aviva, who tends to her kvetchy children, unstable mother, unemployed husband, and exhausting job - and clings, against all odds, to her dream of becoming a writer. When a famous author takes an interest in her work, Aviva jumps at the chance to be mentored, but is this the path to make her dreams come true? Winner of six awards, including Best Picture, from the Israeli Film Academy. Warning: nudity Generously underwritten by Jewish Senior Life: Jewish Home of Rochester, Wolk Manor and The Summit at Brighton. Back to FILM FESTIVAL SCHEDULE » |
