Ha-Bua (The Bubble)


Ha-Bua, translated as "The Bubble" is the newest film from acclaimed director Eytan Fox. This is the second Fox film i've seen, and it definitely lived up to the last one, "Walk on Water."

The Bubble is based around life in Tel Aviv, personally my favourite city in Israel, also known as the gay capital of Israel.

It depicts the relationship of the 4 main characters, and the difficulties they face. However, this is not just an account of love, all the time there is the story of the war still raging between Israel and Palestine, brought to our attention by the relationship between Israeli Yali and Arab Ashruf.

This is a beautiful film, with a simple but compelling script, shot simply and wonderfully. If you want to borrow it let me know, its an incredible film with many famous middle easter actors.

Watch the trailer below to get a taster.
