Persona - Heb subs
Sweden | 1966 | Hebrew subtitles
One of Ingmar Bergman’s most famous and captivating films, regarded to this day as the pinnacle of his work and a cornerstone of modern cinema.
Elisabet Vogler, a renowned stage actress, suddenly stops speaking during a performance and falls into complete silence. Alma, a young nurse assigned to care for her, accompanies her to a secluded seaside house where Elisabet is meant to recover in peace. At first, their relationship seems simple: Elisabet remains silent while Alma fills the void with words. But gradually, a complex, charged, almost mystical bond forms between them. As the boundaries between their identities blur, the film becomes a psychological journey into identity, silence, truth, and deception.

— Jaffa Cinema
A poetic Zen Buddhist masterpiece, overflowing with breathtaking pastoral landscapes.

A minimalist work of art: with almost no dialogue, the film relies on visual imagery, nature, silence, and the sounds of the world itself.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi - Heb subs
Japan, USA | 2011 | Hebrew subtitles
In our view, Japanese cuisine has truly taken the spotlight in the culinary world this year. Even here in the city, izakayas have become the new wine bars — and we couldn’t be happier about it. This film stands at the very top of food documentaries and culinary shows.
Feel free to order sushi and enjoy it in the courtyard, but without drinks.
Jiro Ono, an 85-year-old legendary sushi master at the time of filming, is the owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro in Tokyo — a tiny, ten-seat restaurant tucked inside a subway station, awarded three Michelin stars and considered one of the best sushi restaurants in the world.
Jiro is portrayed as a perfectionist who has devoted his life to perfecting the art of sushi, with obsessive attention to every detail — from the rice, to the fish, to the serving technique. The film follows his meticulous daily routine, his relationships with his two sons, and the tension between striving for artistic perfection and the need to carry on tradition.
An intimate, aesthetic, and deeply inspiring documentary, emphasizing ritual and capturing the precise, uncompromising world of traditional Japanese cuisine.

סרטו הטוב ביותר של וים ונדרס מתאר את קורותיהם של שני מלאכים המסתובבים ברחבי ברלין (החצויה, של סוף שנות השמונים), עד שאחד מהם מתאהב ומחליט להפוך לבן תמותה. זוהי יצירת מופת שמעטות כמוה נוצרו – בטור דה פורס קולנועי, עשר הדקות הראשונות מהממות ממש – מציע ונדרס חוויה אסתטית ורגשית עשירה ומספקת. יש כאן רומנטיקה, פיוט, אמונה ואנושיות שהפכו את הסרט בשעתו ליצירת מפתח שלכדה את המהות האירופאית ערב נפילת חומת ברלין. זו הזדמנות די נדירה לראות שוב על מסך גדול: אל תחמיצו.
Eyes Wide Shut
