USA / 2006

For those unfamiliar – here’s another gift. From the man who brought us cringe long before we even knew what it was. One of the greatest comedies of the 21st century.

Borat arrives in the United States, armed with nothing but a suit and a camera, determined to discover what makes America the “number one country in the world” and to report back to his fellow Kazakhs. The result? Unforgettable encounters, absurd situations, and a whole lot of laughter. Oh, and he’s also dead set on finding Pamela Anderson and asking for her hand in marriage.

A sharp mirror reflecting prejudice, racism, and American innocence. Behind the laughter lies a biting critique of Western society – and of us as viewers. You could say Borat was born out of circumstances where Andy Kaufman might have starred in an Emir Kusturica film. A kind of “documentary comedy,” built on moments of awkwardness that blur the line between staging and improvisation. Sacha Baron Cohen, in all his glory, showing an entire generation what pure, fearless entertainment looks like.

Israel \ 1987

A group of close friends celebrate the bittersweet changes coming to their lives during the summer of their high-school graduation: adult responsibilities, adult romance — and the soberingly adult fact that some of their number are being drafted into the Israeli army. This has very much the feel of a high-school beach-party movie — with music, and in Hebrew — until a sudden and disturbingly realistic reminder of their own mortality finally slashes through the kids’ cheerful, close-knit obliviousness.

USA \ 2020

A woman in her sixties, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.

Israel \ 1992

The film takes place in Tel Aviv, much of it in a fictitious local pub called Barbie, a satirical nickname for a famous Israeli mental health institution. The pub’s name hints at the characters and the events which occur in the pub and which befall its owner (Daliah), the employees and customers. The plot unfolds with a streak of violence which takes a surprising turn.

“The changing seasons may unsettle our body and mind, but in Buddhism they are seen as a natural and essential part of the cycle of life.”

A poetic Zen Buddhist masterpiece, overflowing with breathtaking pastoral landscapes.
In a small monastery floating on a remote lake, a young monk journeys through the full arc of life – from innocent childhood, through desire and forbidden love, heartbreak and sin, to the search for redemption and a renewed reflection on life’s cycles.

Like the turning of the seasons, human life shifts and closes in a circle, from spring to spring again.

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

Japan / 2006

A psycho-philosophical anime — essentially a dream about dreams.

Imagine a device that lets you step directly into people’s dreams: to see them, experience them, even alter them. That’s exactly what the DC Mini does.

Enter Paprika — the dream alter ego of Dr. Chiba — a playful, wise, and enchanting heroine who must stop the chaos.

Director Satoshi Kon uses animation to create limitless visual sequences: flowing imagery, leaps between worlds, and the total dissolution of reality — things live action could never fully capture.

France / 1970

A colorful, absurd, and grandiose fantasy adaptation of Charles Perrault’s fairy tale. Hard to believe it was made in 1970.

The story follows a princess (Catherine Deneuve) forced to flee her kingdom after her father the king, bound by a promise to his late wife, insists on marrying her. To hide, she dons the magical skin of a donkey that grants her refuge. In exile, she rediscovers herself — and, of course, finds love.

Jacques Demy transforms this dark tale into a fantastical musical, bursting with color, surreal costumes, and a lush score by Michel Legrand. Over the decades it has become a beloved French classic, regarded as one of the most unique works of cinematic fairy tale.

USA / 1982

“Who among us hasn’t been a little (or more than a little…) obsessed with someone we idolize?”

This film is a must-see for anyone who can’t let go until they get what they want – even when the odds are stacked against them.

A frustrated, unsuccessful comedian dreams of making it big. When faced with repeated rejection from the famous host he idolizes, he teams up with another obsessive fan and resorts to kidnapping in a desperate attempt to steal his moment in the spotlight.

One of the lesser-known and commercially underappreciated collaborations between Scorsese and De Niro.

And yet, pure brilliance in its portrait of a dreamer — constantly shifting between moments of touching vulnerability and behavior that is pitiful, delusional, and socially rejected.

Denmark / 1996

Not for the faint-hearted – a raw piece from the Dogme 95 movement.

At a father’s 60th birthday party, family members reveal long-buried secrets, and painful truths come to light.

A powerful and uncompromising film, balancing emotional intensity with the stripped-down, documentary-like style that defined Dogme cinema, pioneered in the 1990s by Thomas Vinterberg and Lars von Trier.

Israel / 1972

Summer may be just past its peak, but there’s still time to bask in its glow. Metzitzim is a cult classic capturing a single moment in time: Tel Aviv, the summer of ’72, when two giants of Israeli culture led the way.

Guta (Uri Zohar), an aging bachelor living in a shack on the beach and working as a lifeguard, and Eli (Arik Einstein), a singer roaming the country with his band, are unstoppable together.

For 24 hours straight they plunge into a whirlwind of beaches, parties, women, tangled relationships, and a friendship trying to withstand the world around them — distilled into the essence of that unforgettable summer.

Take our word for it: bring your non-Hebrew-speaking friends to experience this Israeli cult film. They’ll go crazy for it

USA / 2015

In a dystopian world where being single is illegal, people are sent to a hotel with 45 days to find love – or be turned into an animal. David chooses the lobster, but when he escapes to the forest, he discovers a group that forbids romance… until he falls in love.

With its meticulous style and darkly poetic vision, Yorgos Lanthimos cements his place as one of today’s greatest filmmakers. A standout role in Colin Farrell’s artistic renaissance.

Israel / 1967

Back to student life? Now add a child. That’s exactly what happens to Eli, a mathematics student at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Eli is left to care for the young son of Miki, his childhood love who betrayed him and chose another. The three days he spends with the boy expose his emotional instability, the sparse life of a student in Jerusalem, the alienation of the city, and the lingering pain of lost love. His relationship with the child swings between tenderness and cruelty, painting a complex portrait of a man adrift, struggling to find belonging and meaning.

Influenced by European cinema of the era (especially the French New Wave), the film blends poetic atmosphere, black-and-white cinematography, and a modernist cinematic language. It stands as one of the first Israeli films to explore urban alienation, failed love, and a critical gaze at the young Israeli society. With Three Days and a Child, Uri Zohar emerged not only as an entertainer but as a singular cinematic voice.

The film earned Oded Kotler the Best Actor Award at the 1967 Cannes Film Fes
