Just Say Yes!

I was sold on a new Nadav Lapid movie right off the bat thanks to the name Nadav Lapid -- his previous films Synonyms, Ahed’s Knee, and The Kindergarten Teacher are all phenomonal. But then I watched this, the first trailer for his new movie titled Yes, and... I am even more sold. More even more. Extremely more even! This looks phenomonal and that was even before they sell it as...

A Radu Jude seal of approval? Fuck yeah. These are the world-class provocateurs of our moment, sign me the hell up.  And to have a major artist from inside Israel making something this critical of Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestinians is uhh let's say welcome. The film stars Ariel Bronz as a musician tasked with writing Israel's new national anthem post-October-7th and it looks no holds barred. Thank goodness there are still real artists out here making real political art. This gives me hope for us. Watch:

Yes is out in U.S. theaters on March 27th. Gimme!
