"Kadosh"
1999
Directed by Amos Gitai

The treatment of women in ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities is explored by Amos Gitai. The story, set in the Mea Sherim quarter of Jerusalem, follows the struggles of two sisters to find personal happiness in a system that seems designed to marginalize their place in society and limit their possibilities for personal happiness. One of the sisters, although devoted to her husband, is rejected by the community when her marriage remains childless. The other is pressured by the rabbi into marrying a cruel, violent man. "...an anguished cry...has a ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy" (Scott Heller, Boston Phoenix). Hebrew with English subtitles.  117 minutes.
