Chicago Sun-Times, 05/09/1997, p.36, "...An affecting romance parable....We are regaled by the romantic meditations of the wacky characters, by the colorful and well-crafted sets, and by the offbeat humor of the thought-provoking script..."
New York Times, 01/30/1997, p.C18, "...A movie that keeps you continually off balance....An exhilarating collision, with Czech surrealism and earthy Israeli comedy bumping wildly into each other..."
Also includes the short "Personal Goals."
A double-bill of dramedy from Israel. In the dizzy, surreal feature "Saint Clara," a thirteen-year-old girl ensures her popularity in the repressive, alienating environs of Golda Meir Junior High by using her psychic powers to feed test answers to fellow students. In the more naturalistic short "Personal Goals," a boy's lies about being the star of his soccer team come to light after his preoccupied father actually attends a game--and realizes his son has failed to live up to his overly high expectations.
