'An Israeli Love Story' DVD Review

Margalit (Adi Bielski) is an 18 year old young girl who is aspiring to be an actress. She lives in northern Israel in 1947. Israel is not yet a state of its own and there are many problems among its people. While traveling to watch a play in Haifa, Margalit meets a young man named Eli (Avraham Aviv Alush). Eli lives on a Kibbutz and has all his life. Eli works in the Palmach which is the pre state army underground. The two youngsters will eventually meet again and the romance begins. As time goes on Margalit moves to Eli’s Kibbutz and the talk of marriage begins.

This is a true love story and is based on fact. The story is about theater director Pnina Gary and Eli Ben-Zvi the son of Israel’s second president Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. They met, fell in love and did it all while Israel was becoming a state in 1947. Dan Wolman is the director of this love story and in all his comments he has said it is nothing more than a Love Story. Everyone wants to say it’s got a political backdrop to it but in reality it is still just a love story. For you see in every relationship there is always ups and downs. People are still people no matter what’s going on around them. Love does conquer all this story is so true to that.
