Movie Review: Ghosts
Summary: 5 Stars
Rivka (Yaël Abecassis), Meir (Yoram Hattab) and Malka (Meital Barda) walk through the frames of Amos Gitai's "Kadosh" as if they were ghosts: human beings without a physical presence, without a solid place on which to land their phosphorescent bodies, souls and hearts. Their haunting unhappiness with their lot in life makes them transparent. You can see their hearts slowly break as they go about the business of life.
Set in the ultra-Orthodox quarter of Jerusalem called Mea Shearim, "Kadosh" (meaning "sacred") studies two sisters, Rivka and Malka, enduring the ironhanded restrictions of their tiny, airtight society. Director Gitai fastidiously features the endless rituals of the sisters lives: everything from how tea is taken to how love is made. Then one day someone sends a note to Rivka, happily and lovingly married to Meir for ten years...but childless, stating "A woman without a child is no better than dead." And thus begins the forced and tragic separation of Rivka and Meir.
Malka is younger than Rivka and questions everything about the Orthodox way. She is also in love with a Mea Shearim deserter, Yaakov (Sami Hori) but is forced into a loveless, arranged marriage with a blustering bully: the scene of their first night of marriage is brutal and frankly disgusting with Malka's beautiful spirit and life force seemingly extinguished in the process.
"Kadosh" is very still, very quiet, claustrophobic. The only sounds evident are the sounds of hearts and souls in anguish as they are being crushed and strangled from the inside.
Summary of Kadosh
Kadosh (sacred in hebrew) examines the treatment of women in the ultra-orthodox jewish community community in the mea shearim neighborhood of jerusalem. It is the controversial & deeply disturbing story of 2 sisters chafing under the restricions of their religious leaders.
