1.0 out of 5 stars Not Really A Movie In The Literal Sense, April 16, 2004

This review is from: Birth of a Golem (DVD)

This is an experimental film from the late 80s by Israeli documentary filmmaker Amos Gitai. Practically unwatchable save maybe for those who understand the subject manner. Annie Lennox's brief, unspoken, and uncredited appearance is perhaps most interesting in light of the photography exhibited on her latest album, "Bare" (2003).

4.0 out of 5 stars a tangible experience, December 7, 2005

This review is from: Birth of a Golem (DVD)

i, for one, was not initially familiar with the story of the golem (a story which i will not tell you here, though you would be adventurous to find out for yourself), however, i did not find that to be detrimental to my experience of the film. Told in montage, this film creates an experience which tells the story; there are layers of history, enlightenment and confusion punctuated by the central scene of the 'birth of a golem'. i found this film to be visceral and visually stimulating; it is a shame that more of Gitae's work is not yet available on DVD.
