In the streets of Israel: angry bad young girl comes to accept her family (little sister and 'old' mother) and friend; well written with - which is wonderful: few words, no action, no effects. Low-brow direct cinema. ZOHAR looks like a reborn young Charlotte Gainsbourg in L'EFFRONTEE and acts like her. A film of small gestures and small people, full of modern life and loneliness. Is the running ZOHAR also a young version of the LONG DISTANCE RUNNER and his LONELINESS? Anyway, ZOHAR is about the wisdom of the elders and the painful search for life of the young ones, the relations within an all-female family that tries hard to get along and the near-eastern sun, which equally shines on sorrow and hope.
