The Cast Of The Bubble.Israeli film director and screenwriter, Eytan Fox's latest film "The Bubble" will be released for major distribution in the U.S. in the Summer. Fox's previous film, "Walk On Water" was one of the best foreign films screened in the U.S. in 2005.
The release of "The Bubble" is a signficant coup for Israeli cinema as most Israeli films never make it to the U.S. No doubt the huge commercial success of "Walk on Water" (which grossed $2.7 Million in the U.S.) helped the Strand Company in their decision.
"The Bubble" centers around young urbanites living on Tel Aviv's Sheinkin Street and sends a clear anti-war message to audience members. Incidentally, it also focuses on a gay love affair between an Israeli and a Palestinian. The film is currently being screened at the Berlin International Film Festival.
