Judas
Based on the novel by Amos Oz
Judas is set in Jerusalem in the winter of 1959. Shmuel Ash, a sensitive student who has dropped out of university, takes a live-in job as companion to an elderly, incapacitated man, Gershom Wald, who needs someone with whom to argue. The two grapple
about the betrayal of Judas, the subject of Shmuel's thesis. Wald believes the myth of Judas as described in the New Testament is the reason for anti-Semitism, pogroms, the Inquisition and even the Holocaust. Things get complicated when Shmuel falls in love with Wald's daughter-in-law Atalia.
"So nice to see Wolman, the oldest filmmaker working in Israeli cinema today, now 80 years old, at the height of his power. Praise to actor Doron Tavori who delivers here a chilling performance - actors Livni and Markel are both excellent." ~ SHMUEL DUVDEVANI Ynet
