Assi Dayan – Ha-Chayim Al-Pi Agfa AKA Life According to Agfa (1992)

Quote:
Following its initial release, the movie soon became a major cultural touchstone. A lot of Israelis in my age group (say 30-40) who consider themselves sophisticated love “Agfa” dearly. In Dayan, they felt they finally had a Hebrew-speaking Wim Wenders of their very own.

Filmed in moody, grainy black and white, “Agfa” shows a group of beautiful losers as they spend an apocalyptic night inside a Tel Aviv bar. The film follows a large number of characters including the bar’s owner (Gila Almagor) whose life consists of one-night stands while pining for a married man dying of cancer; a violent police detective (Shuli Rand) who ends seduces and dumps a fragile neurotic (Avital Dicker); a drug-addict model (Smadar Kilchinsky) who is on her way to New York; a group of thuggish Mizrahim; a pair of Arabs who work in the bar’s kitchen; and a unit of paratroopers who effect the movie’s bloody climax.

Dayan also rigs his ensemble cast with two characters who serve as a kind of Greek Chorus: Czerniak (Danny Litani), the piano man whose songs provide ironic meta-commentary on the goings-on in the bar; and the bartender (Irit Frank) who takes photographs of the people in the bar.
