Although the corpus of Gitai's work is large and extremely varied, including documentary films shot in the Far East, the Philippines, France, Germany, Italy, and elsewhere, it is largely the transition from work in the documentary mode to that of the fiction feature film that has, as might be expected, enlarged the appreciative audience of his work.

    RCL — Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens e Linguagens Comunicação de — Revista RCL Ghosts beneath the surface: Remnants and revenants of Palestine in the Cinema of the Interior Fantasmas sob a superfície: Os restos e espectros da Palestina no Cinema do Interior and Languages Communication of Journal ROBERT GEORGE WHITE Independent Scholar [email protected] N.53 (2020) ISSN 2183-7198 N.53 (2020) ISSN — Abstract In a 2003 interview with the Journal of Palestine Studies, the director Elia Sulieman evoked the spectre of the revenant (which appears by coming back) when explaining the pres- ence of Palestinians within Israel in terms of Israel’s being haunted by the spectre of the ‘becoming-Palestinian’ of the Israeli-Arab. This is both an allusion to a historical le- gal condition of present absence (the Knesset’s 1950 Law of Absentee Property), but also articulates—this article claims—an emerging hauntology/ontology of the cine- matic image of the Palestinian in Israel.This article argues that the contemporary cinema of Palestinians in Israel is essentially a cinema of ghosts, where temporal disjoint- edness and spatial displacement constantly disturb the project of national identity formation; from the haunting of Jaffa in the work of Kamal Aljafari, where Palestinian ‘ghosts’ are re-inscribed onto the work of Israeli director Menahem Golan, to the ghostly lacuna between Arab and Jew which haunts Amos Gitai’s Ana Arabia (2013). Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s notion of ‘the spectral’, alongside a critical analysis of what Edward Said termed al-dakhil (the interior), the article examines Palestinian interiors as ROBERT GEORGE WHITE 73 RCL — Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens e Linguagens Comunicação de — Revista RCL haunted sites.

  • Film Reviews Jonathan Lighter
    Film Reviews Jonathan Lighter Lebanon (2009) he timeless figure of the raw recruit overpowered by the shock of battle first attracted the full gaze of literary attention in Crane’s Red Badge of Courage (1894- T 95). Generations of Americans eventually came to recognize Private Henry Fleming as the key fictional image of a young American soldier: confused, unprepared, and pretty much alone. But despite Crane’s pervasive ironies and his successful refutation of genteel literary treatments of warfare, The Red Badge can nonetheless be read as endorsing battle as a ticket to manhood and self-confidence. Not so the First World War verse of Lieutenant Wilfred Owen. Owen’s antiheroic, almost revolutionary poems introduced an enduring new archetype: the young soldier as a guileless victim, meaninglessly sacrificed to the vanity of civilians and politicians. Written, though not published during the war, Owen’s “Strange Meeting,” “The Parable of the Old Man and the Young,” and “Anthem for Doomed Youth,” especially, exemplify his judgment. Owen, a decorated officer who once described himself as a “pacifist with a very seared conscience,” portrays soldiers as young, helpless, innocent, and ill- starred. On the German side, the same theme pervades novelist Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front (1928): Lewis Milestone’s film adaptation (1930) is often ranked among the best war movies of all time. Unlike Crane, neither Owen nor Remarque detected in warfare any redeeming value; and by the late twentieth century, general revulsion of the educated against war solicited a wide acceptance of this sympathetic image among Western War, Literature & the Arts: an international journal of the humanities / Volume 32 / 2020 civilians—incomplete and sentimental as it is.

Playing out like M*A*S*H meets Orange is the New Black, Talya Lavie's brilliant debut details the power struggles of three women with different agendas and very little to do. Pencil-pushers in the Human Resources Office, best friends Zohar (Dana Ivgy) and Daffi (Nelly Tagar) spend their time playing video games, singing pop songs, jousting with stationery and dreaming of Tel Aviv. The indolent twosome are watched over by their aspiring senior officer, Rama (Shani Klein), who dreams of a higher position and a significant military career, but with a platoon of unskilled, idle, female soldiers without any drive under her charge, her ambitions for promotion are constantly thwarted. With shifts of tone that go from slapstick to satiric to horrifying with fluid ease, and with a superb supporting cast of characters, Zero Motivation is destined to be one of the most talked about films of the year. DIRECTOR’S NOTE During my mandatory military service as a secretary, I dreamed of making an army movie with the pathos and epic proportions of classic war-films, but about the gray, mundane experiences that my office mates and I had, hardly ever getting up from our chairs.
