IFF 2012: Policeman

Print page

ONLINE BOOKINGS FOR DUNEDIN ONLY

Two passionately narcissistic groups – one a highly disciplined and patriotic elite police unit, the other an extremist cadre of middle-class anti-government activists – are characterised with brilliant intensity in this provocative Israeli drama. Deploying an exceptionally good-looking cast, director-screenwriter Nadav Lapid may be coolly, analytically detached, but he jabs us with the powers of attraction that operate within each tribe. (The eponymous Yaron, a self-idealising hunk of blinding virile grace is a notable addition to the ranks of movie copdom.) A billionaire’s wedding provides the occasion for inevitable, violent confrontation. — BG
