Jellyfish
“Intensely personal. Poetic. Each scene’s beauty is a
deliberate testimony to the ephemerality of life.” –The Forward
Etgar Keret & Shira Geffen. 2007. Israel/France. 78 min.
Poignant, often witty and exceedingly cinematic, Jellyfish is the tale of three very different Tel Aviv women whose
intersecting stories weave an unlikely portrait of modern Israeli life. Batya,
a catering waitress, takes in a child apparently abandoned at a local beach.
Batya is one of the servers at the wedding reception of Keren, a bride who
breaks her leg escaping a locked toilet stall, ruining her chance at a dream Caribbean honeymoon. And attending the event with an
employer is Joy, a non Hebrew-speaking domestic worker who has guiltily left
her son behind in her native Philippines.
As this distaff trio separately wends their way through Israel’s most cosmopolitan city,
they struggle with issues of communication, affection and destiny—but at times
find uneasy refuge in its tranquil seas. Cannes:
Best First Feature.
