This Is Sodom
Directed by Adam Sanderson and Muli Segev
Written by Muli Segev, David Lifshitz and Asaf Shalmon
Israel, 2010
At an arranged marriage, a Rabbi tries to break the ice by telling a joke.
“Why was the first man the happiest?” he asks.
No one answers.
“Because he didn’t have a mother-in-law!”
No one laughs.
The rabbi has the decency to recognize his pathetic attempt at humour and stops. Israel’s biggest blockbuster in 25 years, This is Sodom, however, doesn’t – resulting in an overproduced, underwritten excuse for a comedy, lasting an interminable 88 minutes.
The film opens with a door-to-door salesman, named ‘god’, selling a new religion to a man named Abraham. To prove his omnipotence, the salesman promises the destruction of Sodom, the most famous Sin City in history.
However, Abraham protests, informing god of his nephew, Lot, who is the one righteous man in the city.
