“CRAZY LAND” - the Israeli candidate to the Oscar awards, the movie of Dror Shaol, is the story of Dvir Avneri - a 13 years old boy that grow in the kibbutz existence of the 70’s. Dvir is dealing with the mysterious death of his father and the insanity of his mother (in the great acting of Ronit Yodekviec). Additional to this Dvir need to deal with the importunity of the kibbutz society, with here conservative values, that in his eays (and the viewer eays…) contradictious with any human value. The movie present in a very convincing and funny way the kibbutz life, with the children house, the tasks, the bands, the military service value and of course the kibbutz meetings.

In a different with Dror Shaol old comedy movie “GRANNY OPERATION” (must to see…), the story here is the sad story of the director (Dror). Additional to this the movie show us a different point of view to the life at the kibbutz as we thought thay are.

The bottom line - a graet movie, exciting, reflective and a perfect winter movie… :)
