Seret hatuna

I missed this when it played at The 2010 Boston Jewish Film Fest, but luckily, I was able to get the DVD through my Minuteman Library Network. (in MA, USA).

Though I was intrigued by the opening scene, it took a few minutes before i was hooked, but soon i was smiling and the smile pretty much stayed there.The premise is of a Tel Aviv bride who, on her way to her evening wedding, gets cold feet and spends a lot of the film ruminating and talking with the 2 employees of a closed coffee shop, while her Love deals with her not showing up. In addition to the main bride/groom plot, there are a number of other couple conversations that reflect many different kinds of relationships and create a much richer film. The story is compelling, the direction is tight and the actors are all perfect in their parts. Finally, it is the warmth and authenticity of the two leads that take the well written screenplay to the heights of a fully realized, touching ,charming and thought provoking experience. With a story just quirky enough, i believed it all and enjoyed myself immensely.

I don't understand it, but this film appears to be the same one as the 2006 "Cold Feet" or "A Wedding Film." I reviewed it on the IMDb page for "A Wedding Film." here's my review:

It happened in Tel Aviv but it can happen in New York, London, Moscow or any other big city in the world. A bride (Hilla Vidor) does not show for the wedding ceremony, and while the groom to be (Ron Schacar) go out to look for her the bride is sitting in a small coffee shop sharing with the waitress and the waiter her true feelings. While the groom is on his search we watch some snap-shots into the groom's parents and friends marriage life, this reflections kind of support the bride hesitations. Through coincident of events the groom get to the coffee shop where the bride sits. From that point a surprise chain of events is unfolding. The film stars are some of the young and upcoming film and TV actors and actress in Israel that got an early opportunity to demonstrate their talents and charming.
