About this item
Product Description
Arik, a teenage boy growing up in Haifa in 1968, gets a job working for Yankele Bride, a matchmaker. Yankele, a mysterious Holocaust survivor, has an office in back of a movie theater that shows only love stories, run by a family of seven Romanian dwarves in the seedy area by the port. Yankele introduces Arik to a new world, built on the ruins of an old one. As Arik begins to learn the mysteries of the human heart through his work with Yankele, he falls in love with Tamara, his friend's cousin. Tamara has just returned from America full of talk of women's rights, free love and rock and roll. The disparate parts of Arik's life collide in unexpected, often funny and moving ways as he lives through a summer that changes him forever. Avi Nesher's latest film mixes comedy with drama as it tells a coming-of-age story unlike any ever seen before.
Review
Critic's Pick! Beautiful, Honest, Insightful... 'The Matchmaker' is a surprise... as satisfyingly eccentric and unexpected as anything we've seen. --Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Top-notch, emotionally resonant... 'The Matchmaker' is at heart an unexpectedly complex film about love, but also an examination of Israel in flux, a country with one foot in the past and another in the future - a weight that may never fully vacate Israeli shoulders. --Mark Zhuravsky, Indiewire
A unique coming-of-age story... Terrific. Exotic and yet familiar, Fellini-esque, haunted by the ghosts of the Holocaust and boasting a score by French master Philippe Sarde (Tess) and cinematography by Michel Abramowicz (Taken), 'The Matchmaker' is a fascinating Euro-Israeli rite of passage story. Another noteworthy catch by distributor Menemsha Films. See this. --James Verniere, The Boston Herald
