Rhythmic

Warning: Spoilers
See my review of "Ve'lakhta lehe isha". Leaves you more or less with the same feeling at the end of both: I couldn't stand to live in such a communautarian culture/group, where I would really feel like my personal freedom is hindered. Two more things particular to this movie: because it's about teenagers playing a Marivaux's play, I would say that at least a third of the film is fulfilled by this play's dialogues, and therefore benefits from his rhythm. Not sure how well it translates to English and other languages though. Secondly, I don't like the end, where finally the police presence spoils all the good that had been built until then; I know it's quite true that the police in this type of poor French neighbourhoods is a watchdog as powerful as the community (though driven by different goals/intentions), but I guess I would have liked a bit of optimism for once.
