Israeli movies have made a serious progress in the last decade. In recent years, Israeli movies have successfully captured fractions of the turbulent Israeli society with its complexity. Israeli movies have dealt with many issues, such as the orthodox society, the Israeli army, sexual orientation, prostitution and much more, showing the world that Israel is much more than a place of conflict.

Israeli movies have shown the world the normality of the Israeli society. In the beginning of the millennium, new high-quality Israeli movies have emerged that dealt with universal issues as love, family and loss.

Israeli movies with international themes

Nina's Tragedies (2003)
When this movie starring our very own talented Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer was released, it was received with much enthusaism by the Israeli audience and the critics. This is a bitter sweet comedy that reflects life as they are with sensitivity and humor. Ayelet Zurer does a fantastic job in the leading role.

In media section, you can find lists of Jewish movies, classic and new. I've also included a seperate list of best current Israeli movies that you really don't want to miss. The list will be updated on a regular basis. My main focus has been on high-quality Jewish and Israeli movies that have been created in recent years.

Broken Wings Knafaiym Shvurot (2002)
A family is falling apart with the sudden eath of the father. A bitter-sweet drama by Nir Bergman, one of Israel's most talented directors and scripwriters. Bergman also created BeTipul, or In Treatment, an israeli drama that was adamped by HBO. Both the film and the TV show are highly recommended.
