"Intimate Story"
1981
Directed by Nadav Levitan

A powerful Israeli drama set on a kibbutz, where Leah and Yaacov are a childless couple failing at childbirth for a second time. Each blames the other for the failure, and the film becomes a powerful metaphor for Israeli society as the supportive atmosphere of the kibbutz is contrasted with its closed community and lack of privacy. Hebrew with English subtitles. With Chava Alberstein and Alex Peleg. 95 minutes.
