Jaffa

Israeli writer and director Keren Yedaya delivered a profound film with this domestic drama. Despite an apparently happy coexistence between a Jewish family and their Palestinian employees, a forbidden love leads to tragedy tearing both families apart. Yedaya personalizes the Israeli-Palestinian conflict into an effective domestic drama without being preachy or simplifying the issues at the core. A talented cast and crew deliver a profound film that gives insight into the never ending conflict. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
