    Great Movie
    I can't understand why this movie is only rated 5.1 here. It's a great movie. I saw it because I am a big fan of Depardieu, and I'm very glad I watched it. He's paired with a top-notch French actress, their third movie together. In the film they have a successful marriage, and on screen they are great together, great chemistry, with all the ups and downs of a marriage that has lasted 25 years. He's a successful, contented gynecologist; she's apparently never worked, "only" raised a son, who's getting married. She wants a life change, that's the major impetus for the movie. As anyone can read in the description, eventually they immigrate to Israel. Of course they are Jewish, and that plays a sizable role in the movie.

    The script is quite good, quite realistic, though some of what happens from the time they enter Israel to live there seemed a bit overdone. For example, I wonder if Israel really has so many gynecologists, or this was just the writer using artistic license.

    There are some great actors in this movie in addition to the leads. I like French, so I didn't mind that so many (I assume) French actors were hired for the scenes filmed in Israel.

    This movie has a lot of "extras," and by extra I mean scenes and short moments where we see actors whom we see only once, and only for a short time. These "vignettes" generally don't add to the story line, they are there for effect - in a movie like this usually for comedic effect. They can add or subtract from the entertainment value of the movie. As well they can give us a break from concentrating on the (main) story. Having said all of this and maybe having rambled a bit, let me say that the "extras" in this movie are great. The many actors all do a very good job, and the movie was more enjoyable to me.

    Finally, the extra on the dvd is exclusively an interview with the lead actress. I found it very interesting and informative.
