Tel Aviv on Fire
Dir: Sameh Zoabi
LUX/FR/ISR/BEL,
2018
Arabic, Hebrew w/subtitles 97 minutes
Cast: Lubna Azabal, Kais Nashef, Maisa Abd Elhadi, Yaniv Biton
One of the most irreverent cinematic spins on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, this film follows a fledging soap-opera scenarist charged with concocting plot twists to suit viewers on both sides. Zoabi’s ingenious satire exudes a deadpan audacity that’s hard to resist, while Nashef ’s outwardly unflappable middleman grounds this battle of ideologies in comic pragmatism. Films like this might not bring peace to the Middle East, but making everyone laugh at the same thing feels like a step in the right direction.
