Directed by Veronica Kedar, 2011, Israel, 80 min. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
Things get very complicated very quickly when Joe, an angsty drug dealer, meets Belle, a buoyant suicidal psychopath, in this dark comedy. After an outlandish accident in Tel Aviv leaves the pair with a body to dispose of, they embark on a madcap journey to lose the cops – and end up finding love in Sderot (the target of ongoing rocket attacks).
Gritty but tender, JOE + BELLE offers an absurd portrait of life in contemporary Israel. Come and see the film that AFTERELLEN.com calls “Totally offkilter, sexy and stylish in a distinctly grungy, almost ‘90s sort of way” that “manages to say something deep about love and violence while still offering all the gallows humor you could hope for.”
