An oneiric evocation of shameful desire, adolescent trauma and very bad parenting, Israeli director Tali Shalom Ezers debut is a remarkable achievement. Featuring terrific performances, particularly from lead Shira Haas, and a sense of directorial control over every frame, its nevertheless a film destined to divide viewers over its ambiguous screenplay, troubling conclusion, and an explicit rape scene that some viewers may feel goes too far. This multiple award winner at the Jerusalem film festival and a Sundance competitor will attract plenty of attention from festivals, but only distributors in more liberal territories are likely to take a chance on theatrical release. Although the actor was 1. Haas protagonist Adar is meant to be 1. Adar lives in a Tel Aviv suburb with her mother Alma comedian actor Keren Mor, from Ronit Elkabetzs 7 Days, a doctor, and Almas boyfriend Michael Ori Pfeffer, A Strange Course of Events, a teacher whos mysteriously quit his job to spend all day mooching about the house. From the very first scenes, its clear that Alma and Michael have intense libidos and serious problems with boundaries, especially when it comes to Adar. Frequently indulging in randy public displays of affection, given to flouncing about in their underwear, and never stopping to think that their noisy love making might be overheard by the child in the next room, they almost seem to be drawing Adar into their sexualized, touchy feely atmosphere. She often gets into bed with them in the night, even when theyre in the middle of having sex, and no one seems to mind. By slow degrees, what at first seems like just hippy dippy permissiveness starts to take on a sinister aspect, especially when Michael and Adar indulge in frisky games of physical horseplay that would seem innocuous between a man and little kid, but look decidedly inappropriate given Adars budding femininity. As part of some weird flirtatious private joke, he often uses Hebrews masculine pronouns when addressing her, calling her his prince instead of princess. Her beaming smiles suggest she relishes the attention, especially as it seems to make Alma with whom she has an often combative relationship a little jealous. Out playing hooky from school one day at the beach, Adar sees a young man about her age named Alan Adar Zohar Hanetz who thanks to an astonishing bit of casting looks like her identical twin, if identical twins could be of different sexes. Homeless, and possibly working as a rent boy, Alan has a cocky confidence and self contained quality thats irresistible. They spend the day hanging out, buying matching t shirts and watching Alans friends pick up johns. When Alma and Michael finally find them out late that night way past bedtime, Adar casually announces that hes coming to live with them, and they numbly accept him into their home. After this point, the film starts getting progressively weirder as the presence of Alan shifts the power dynamics in the home, and the border between fantasy and reality becoming increasingly blurred. However, theres one scene which were undoubtedly meant to read as really happening to Adar, and spoiler phobes should stop reading now if they dont want to know. Towards the end, she is raped by Michael. Shot close up so that their bodies fill the screen in one unbroken cut, its a harrowing, nauseating sequence. Ezer explains in the press notes that she felt very conflicted about including the rape, but was persuaded by a script advisor to show it otherwise she would be abandoning her protagonist in the most hard and difficult moment of life. Now, putting aside the peculiarity of treating a fictional character as if she was a real person, the decision to include this scene is likely to divide audiences. Ezer, the crew and the cast may have sincerely intended to show the horror of the situation, but some will find the imagery inherently exploitative, and potentially arousing for the wrong kind of viewer, especially since Hass looks so much like a 1. Does the fact that she wasnt actually 1. Or the fact that the film is so manifestly against abuse Its a question each individual viewer will have to decide for themselves, but the will certainly scare off some potential acquisitions executives. Once again, it should be stressed that the film is very sensitively made, perceptive about the psychology of people in such situations especially with regards to Almas in denial mother, and intensely atmospheric thanks to Ishai Adars insinuating soundtrack and Radek Ladczuks spooky, hazy lensing. It seems apt somehow that he also shot the recent Australian horror film The Babadook. Download Movie Mardock Scramble: The Second Combustion Dvd. Unfortunately, the narrative endgame is a mess, and should have been rethought in development, but theres no denying Ezer has made a bold, audacious debut.

A sleep deprived teen learns that conking out is a superpower in The Napping Princess, Kenji Kamiyamas fantasy about family secrets and self driving cars. Kamiyama, a vet of the Ghost in the Shell franchise, brings plenty of sci fi genre ingredients to what at times might look like a Miyazaki coming of age adventure. Though occasionally lopsided, the mix works well, and should play best to teens raised on Japanese toons. Mitsuki Takahata voices the eponymous heroine, who is only a princess in her dreams. When awake she is Kokone, daughter of Jersey, an auto mechanic and part time inventor. Raised knowing nothing about her mothers side of the family except that mom died in an accident long ago, shes something of a caretaker for the absentminded Jersey, who is perfecting a guidance system for autonomous vehicles. Long before Kokone, we learn that her mothers father is a car mogul who has his own ideas about next gen cars. Grandpa has an underling, Watanabe, who gets Jersey arrested on the premise that he has stolen the companys proprietary tech  parents may realize around this point that, princesses and talking stuffed animals aside, this tale isnt designed for 6 year olds. Kokone and her buddy Morio wind up in possession of her fathers tablet computer, which contains all the programming he has done, and must try to get him out of legal jeopardy before Watanabe can get to them as well. Meanwhile, Kokone keeps nodding off and entering a world engulfed in mecha versus kaiju conflict, where a fantastic giant monster called Colossus is held at bay by human controlled machines with suspiciously primitive controls. In this world, Kokones stuffed dog Joy is a sentient sidekick and she is a sorceress held captive consumerism isnt just a lifestyle, but the law. She eventually intuits that this world is connected to the actual one, and while we may never quite share her understanding of this conceit, the linkage comes in handy when Morio starts entering the dreams alongside her. With the exception of a sometimes too lightweight score by Yoko Shimomura, the movies look and feel beautifully straddles several idioms. But in terms of narrative drive, the real storyline always trumps the fantasy, especially after Kokone realizes how much has been withheld from her about her past. Unfortunately for those of us who buy into the screenplays mystery component, Kamiyama interrupts the films climax with a very long parallel action sequence set in Kokones dream world though we know the two are somehow linked, the nature of that connection isnt concrete enough that we can linger in fantasy without losing the storys momentum. The picture resolves in much the way we expect, expanding Kokones world so that reality starts to look almost as full of possibilities as fantasy. Thats especially fitting given the girl power revelations of the movies final act. Production company Bandai.
