This is a blog about a film. And the film? it’s a film about a film. Or shall I refrase it: it’s a film about a film considered to be the “worst Israeli movie ever made”. In a way it’s a movie about me. And it’s definitely a movie about obsessions. It took me 30 years to complete it. It started in the hungry eyes of a 10 years old boy and ends in the tired eyes of an almost 41 years old, which thought he’ll find something and ended up with frustration and more questions than answers…
Ok, enough with this. Look at this picture. The man’s name is Moshe Guez. He shares his occupation with people like Federico Fellini and Ingmar Bergman: they all made fiction feature films. He has something in common with Orson Welles and Charlie Chaplin: he stars in the film he directed. His film is called “The Angel Was a Devil”. It’s considered to be the first Israeli horror film. I think it’s not really a horror film. More like a “psychological thriller”.
I believe I should know that. I am one of the only people to see this movie, almost in real time. Although I was only 10 years old.
