1. REVIEWS

 

SERIES OF THE WEEK

ON NETFLIX

 

FAUDA

FAUDA SAISON 3

 

Wild animals 

 

Fauda means chaos in Arabic.

It seems like everything’s working upside down. We’re following the missions of an Israeli Special Forces unit, Mista’arvim.

FAUDA Season 3 has been on Yes Action Channel since December 2019.

This time, Doron, the hero of the series (Lior Raz) is hidden in the West Bank and coaches a boxer in a club belonging to a Hamas member, whom he becomes friend with. It gets out of hand… Then, Doron and his team find themselves in Gaza, alone on the field…

The screenwriters did not spare the Israelis nor the Palestinians.

Doron says that he and his teammate are wild animals, who, once launched, don’t give up and go all the way to the end of their mission, whatever the price they have to pay. Doron’s team is made up of men who are totally devoted to each other, broken, in search of love, while the women pay a heavy price for their mistakes.

An intricate Israeli society

The creators of this series tackle the universal themes of fatherhood, the traumas that are transmitted from one generation to another, as well as the themes of expectation and confinement. We get a glimpse of Israeli society, so complex that it generates the best series (read my article on series here), dominated by men, where women struggle to find their place.

Finally, this series shows the absurdity of this conflict. The characters and their paths seem all forecast, caught in a rising violence that never stops.
And if what is at stake is on the territorial surface, we become aware that it is also about money. What would the men do if they stopped going to the army? What would the terrorists do if they were concerned about building their country. ?.. It seems that every politician has something to benefit from, alas…

THE MOVIE OF THE WEEK

CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS

 

CRIMES ET DÉLITS

 

With Woody Allen, Martin Landau, Anjelica Huston, Mia Farrow, Alan Alda, Sam Waterston (today in the series Grace & Frankie)

Out in 1989, these three Oscars movies (best director, best original script and best supporting actor, Martin Landau), by Woody Allen precedes his change of directing, long before Match Point which came out in 2005.

The pitch
Judah Rosenthal – a perfect name 🙂 – (played by Martin Landau) is being blackmailed by his mistress, meanwhile another man, Cliff Stern, (Woody Allen) is bored in his marriage… The stories mingle and the characters are seeking for a meaning of live and afraid to be confronted with loneliness.

Woody Allen
Woody Allen asks us: do moral choices define us ? Will we pay the price for our immoral acts?

Both related to philosophy and crime stories, in reference to Crime et Châtiment by Dostoievski, this movie beautifully interpreted takes a subtle look at the meaning of life.

According to Woody Allen, life is absurd, and only love gives it meaning.

On that matter, Fauda and Crimes and Misdemeanors are very much alike.
