Golem, The Spirit Of Exile

Amos Gitai fuses Biblical tales of exile with the legend of the Golem into a parable for our time

The famous story of a patriarch whose sons are murdered, and whose widow forges an enduring friendship with her daughter-in-law Ruth, is transposed to Paris. Here in a world of immigrants, the two women are exiled from France and wander the seas.

Through its interlocking stories, Golem: The Spirit of Exile illuminates the world of two gentle women who are pushed into the margins of society.
