Shuroo

A story about a small-time con-man and a herd of people who believe him to be a guru. (the name of the movie is a mingling of the word guru and his family name - yeshurun, which creates the first word from an old settlers' song).

This movie contains the best gathering of characters in an Israeli movie. Most of them wander around tel-aviv looking for love, hope or a piece of action, in the empty streets of Tel-Aviv at night. From the cross-dressing vegetable salesman to the sensitive cop. From the violent literature professor to the national kibutz-quire looking for their lost megaphone. And although this movie is all about bitterness, you can't help laughing all the way through. This movie is for anyone who likes the insanity that is the night life of a big city. It's very extraordinary in the body of Israeli films, and you can enjoy it, no matter what nationality you are.

B.T.W. : The two scenes with the wife-beaters are cult material.
