1st time on the net, this psychedelic, one of a kind gem from the late 60`s by Jacques Katmor, leader of an Israeli avantguard group, "the 3d eye". A man who works in publicity meets a woman modeling and together they spend a day in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The model leads him to coffee houses and sexual parties, while the man takes her to a sculpturer`s workshop so that he`ll freeze her shape in cast. She`s trying to launch him into the constant flow and complexities of time while he`s trying to freeze her shape and set its Idea for future generations... A unique, one of a kind film which tried (and managed) to deviate from the general currencies of Israeli cinema of its time, influenced by European cinematic modernism and by the French New Wave, especially from Godard (note the use of slogans, pop art and graphics). The soundtrack is also phenomenal: the 1st lp by "the Churchills", great psychedelia. The main actress, Hillit Yeshurun (here under the name Katmor, for she was married to the director), has become am excellent translator, and she`s responsible for mosr of Proust`s translations in Hebrew. Hillit Yeshurun (then katmor) served as the expressive cinematic subject taht served the fantasies of the director allowing him to discuss the destructive and violent relation formed in films between the male gaze and his female object. The film will be remembered as one of the most unique creations in Israeli cinema which tried to take it to places few have dared to go since then.
