Film: Bethlehem

Will you like it when you walk out of this film? Perhaps not.

Will you remember this film? Probably forever.

The main characters are warmly treated and beautifully acted; the cinematography is intense and exciting. It is the story of an Israeli police spy and a Palestinian boy who are both friends and enemies.

The final film credits are fully detailed in both Hebrew and Arabic -- suggesting the delicate balance which the film successfully strikes in telling an intimate story of friendship and conflict between political foes.
