Absurdist and interesting view of Israeli life
Eyal-61 February 2000
A good example of modern Israeli cinema, portraying urban life in Israel in an amusing way, as well as displaying one of the more interesting and odd characters of cinema in general- a singleminded descendant of Spinoza living, translating, and commenting on life today.

I hadn't seen many Israeli movies when I saw it, and was enormously pleased, although the second time was much less fascinating and a great deal more weird.

See it- it's definitely original.

original, funny, intelligent

One of the funniest Israeli movies I have seen. Life of the actual Baruch Spinoza is played out in modern Tel Aviv. Born, expelled from Jewish community, meets his Clara, negotiates with enemy France (here th Palestinians), doesn't go to Heidelberg, dies. Even the Messiah comes! Then the Messiah's gone . . . .

Along the way, interesting snapshots of Israeli society.

Peace
