It’s hard to capture the essence of a person, of an event and even of a simple picture. It’s ten times harder to capture the essence of a city and it’s even harder to catch the essence of a unique city. Les Méduses (Jellyfish) manages to do just this. Even if it doesn’t capture an entire essence, it does so with amazing precision. It captures the essence of Tel Aviv and of an entire generation of young Israelis that live, love and get lost in this vibrant city. With the history, environment and the mixture of people that Tel Aviv sports, it’s a challenging task. What makes this movie even more special is that very few movies tried to really do this, and even less succeeded, while keeping themselves as a pleasuring eye candy.
Les Méduses won two award in the Cannes 2007. It’s probably not going to be easy to get to see this one, but it’s well worth it.
