An Israeli Director Taking On Israel |
“For years, I’ve dreamed of liberating myself from this Israeli prison,” Paris-based Israeli director Nadav Lapid tells Jordan Hoffman. The award-winning filmmaker—who is no fan of his home country’s government—considered making his latest blistering satire in the US. After all, he says, “If you think about a society addicted to money and power, worshipping brutality and vulgarity, and sinking to totalitarianism, this is also a description of the US. So maybe we shoot in LA or New York.” That was in October of 2023. Then came the October 7 Hamas attack, which catalyzed the ongoing war in Gaza—leading Lapid back to the homeland he decries and, despite himself, can’t let go.
