Sela Cast: Dalit Kahn, Boaz Gur-Lavi, Yair Lapid, Avital Diker, Orly Zilberschatz-Banai, Yaffa Yarkoni Music: Ady Cohen Print Source: Jane Balfour Films 91 minutes Based on a hugely popular Israeli novel, Song of the Siren is set in modern-day Tel Aviv during the height of the Gulf War. The film introduces us to Talia, a smart sexy advertising executive who has been without a mate since the breakup of her relationship with her longtime live-in lover, who's since moved on to a much younger woman. Listening to the news reports of impending Iraqi missile attacks, Talia isn't really worried about such things; she's much more concerned about finding the right man - or at least someone with whom she can spend New Year's Eve. This refreshing, unexpected comedy posits a heroine who is not ducking for cover, but looking for romance among the scud missiles rained on Tel Aviv by Saddam Hussein. |
