Etz Limon

I went to the cinema this evening to see Lemon Tree, an Israeli film. I didn't realise in advance that it was based on a true story, which makes certain aspects of the film a bit sadder than I'd previously thought. It's a good film, and I recommend it if you live in a city/country where the film's been released. It's a little anti-Israel, pro-Palestine in some ways, yet it was partially funded by the Israeli Film Council. I liked the ending of the film because it didn't clarify everything, in the way that many Hollywood films are wont to do, but finished with scenes suggesting how the conflict progressed.
