Film Comment, 06/01/1988, p.57-61, "...Khleifi shows the irony of his people's deeply rooted customs in transience....He moves us with the same kind of poignancy vaunted in Chekhov..."

Los Angeles Times, 05/05/1988, p.C2, "...Disturbing, lyrical....Beautifully shot....It's a cherishable film..."

New York Times, 03/11/1988, p.C23, "...Strong....It forces the audience to decide whether to separate politics and art..."

Product Notes

In one of the first films made in Israel to present an Arab perspective, Michel Khleifi's WEDDING IN GALILEE provides a complex portrait of Palestinian society and commentary on life under military occupation. When a Palestinian village elder requests permission to hold a traditional wedding for his son, the military commander in charge of the occupying force requires that the Israeli military governor and his staff be guests of honor at the ceremony. The ensuing preparations detail traditional Palestinian life and customs, including a moving sequence in which attendants prepare the bride for the ceremony. Despite the impending celebration, tensions bubble under the surface, and Khleifi deftly examines the conflict and its impact on individual lives.
