Fantasy Landscapes And Cityscapes Pdf' title='Fantasy Landscapes And Cityscapes Pdf' />By Marilyn Ferdinand. The Wedding Plan is a slippery film to write about. It seems to want desperately to be a screwball comedy in the Julia Roberts moldmostly fun, occasionally wistful, with a life lesson or two floated on the way to a happy ending. Yet, thats not what we get. Instead of a mild diversion, directorscreenwriter Rama Burshtein and her lead actress, Noa Koler,  reveal the horrible pain of loneliness that drives so many peopleespecially women trying to fulfill societys role for themto marry at any cost. In an absurdly comic opening scene, Michal Koler, a Breslov Hasidic Jew who owns and operates a mobile petting zoo, is shown in the waiting room of a psychic Odelia Moreh Matalon she is consulting about her inability to find a mate. The psychics son, Shimi Amos Tamam, moves awkwardly through the waiting room with a box of fish for his mother. When Michal enters the consultation room, the psychic places a fish between them and smears Michals face with its slime as she gets Michal to face her fears and find hope for the future. She tells Michal to ask Shimi, who owns and operates a banquet hall, to give her a discount on her sure to be wedding. Sure enough, the next scene shows Michal and her intended, Gidi Erez Drigues, choosing food for their wedding reception at Shimis establishment. But all does not go as planned. Michal, feeling Gidi has been growing distant at the approach of their wedding day, insists that he tell her whats wrong. He surprises her by telling her he doesnt love her. Michal is devastated. In a crazy scheme to lift herself out of despair and get the happy ending she was anticipating, Michal decides to proceed with the wedding plan anyway, trusting that putting God and a couple of matchmakers on the case will result in a groom to marry her on the last day of Hanukkah, a holiday that commemorates another minor miracle. If this had been an American film, we might have seen a rapid fire series of dates with an assortment of weirdos, with poor Michal screwed up in wide eyed bewilderment. Burshtein, however, isnt interested in getting a lot of cheap laughs and gives Michals match made dates room to breathe. True, one of Michals dates is with a man Udi Persi who proposes to her on two hours acquaintance, but refuses to look at her because he wants to fall in love at first sight. When Michal agrees to marry him but only if he looks her in the eye, he accuses her of trying to trick him and storms off. The next date is with a deaf man Jonathan Rozen who communicates through an interpreter. He seems greatintelligent, warm, funnybut when he asks her why she agreed to go out with him after turning down an earlier introduction the matchmaker had arranged, she tells the truth Despair. The interpreter does not voice translate her dates angry signs. While Burshtein packs in some strange and funny scenesa mother repeatedly fending off Michals attempts to let a girl at a birthday party pet a harmless snake is the most deadpanthe film is largely a painful experience. Koler brings extreme honesty, bullheadedness, and impulsivity to her portrayal of Michal, giving us a portrait of a difficult person to like. Tempering these characteristics are the raw emotions of Michals sadness, fear of being alone, and recognition of the loneliness in others. I recognize the panic in her eyes, the whistling in the dark of her certainty about the success of her plan, the fear of being played by one man who proposes to her. Her line deliveries offer a master class in how to portray a flawed, complex character who can be sincere, insane, and calculating all at one time. Below is a clip that very obviously signals a plot point with the coordinated costuming of Michal and pop star Yos Oz Zehavi. The pair have met cute in the shrine of the founder of her sect, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Yos has asked her for her name through the wall that separates the men from the women after being touched by her piteous lament that she cannot feel Gods presence. They meet outside the shrine. The Wedding Plan is a problematic film. Its hard for any feminist to endorse a film that spends its entire running time focusing on women desperate to get married. Michals confident assertions that God will provide reminded me of when I was 6 years old and so convinced that I would win a horse offered in a contest that my mother actually got nervous its childish magic thinking that is slightly offensive, even if understandable. Similarly, Michals roommate, Feggie Ronny Merhavi, a pretty, but overweight woman, believes fervently in Michals plan because it gives her hope that one day she will find a man. The film is also problematic from a spiritual perspective, which the film acknowledges. At one point, a rabbi tries to dissuade Michal from her quest, fearing that should a groom not materialize, Michals faith will be shaken. Indeed, in a cheat that suggests that her prayers have been answered, Yos asks for her address in Jerusalem because he doesnt want to lose her.

Its strange that in a film about a woman who says she cant find a husband, she actually gets four proposals indeed, the film foreshadows her coming romantic intrigues in the opening scene. I really enjoyed the interrelationships of Michal and her community of women, all gamely cheering her on through her wedding preparations and sitting with her wondering if her prince really will come. While many women will not empathize with Michals plan, she is being true to herself and truthful with others to the extent that her positive thinking can allow. We get a tiny peek into Hasidic life, and though the sitcom cliches might have been abrasive, honest acting by a great ensemble led by Noa Koler redeems the film. DirectorCoscreenwriter Guillermo del Toro. By Roderick Heath. Here there be spoilersGuillermo del Toros oeuvre has long come in two strands the wistfully poetic splendour and infernal evocations of his Spanish language films, Cronos 1. The Devils Backbone 2. Pans Labyrinth 2. Hollywood work, including Mimic 1. Hellboy films, and Pacific Rim 2. Whats unified both hemispheres of del Toros work even is his plain, fervent love of the fantastical, his belief in its worthiness and capacity to bear up powerful emotions and connect with a point of the mind at the edge of shared awareness. Crimson Peak saw del Toro trying to unite these two strands in a film that proved a luscious but lumpy effort, high gothic romanticism and old school melodrama melding uneasily with florid supernatural showmanship. The Shape of Water, his latest, is less an attempt to fuse these two modes than a fully fledged attempt to make one of his Spanish language works in Hollywood, borrowing tropes with equal zest from pop culture lore of the mid 2. Del Toro signals his credo in a delirious opening sequence in which heroine Elisa Esposito Sally Hawkins dreams of being submerged, her apartment flooded, fish wiggling through dancing light patinas, belongings floating in languorous beauty, voices sounding muffled through the water, slowly drawing Elisa back to wakefulness. Elisa is mute, and communicates in sign language. She lives over a movie theatre in downtown Baltimore in the early 1. Giles Richard Jenkins, a gay commercial artist whos become a steadfast friend.
