Beautiful Jew
Directed by Oliver Hockenhull
"Days of Our Lives" meets Gershom Scholem BEAUTIFUL JEW - reflects on the infamous 17th Century Jewish Messiah Sabbatai Zevi, his apostasy to Islam and his incarnation as a used car salesman. The film was shot in Jerusalem, Nablus, Palestine, and in Alberta. Made prior September 11, the film is a kind of mutant Prairie baroque tale genetically engineered with a neo-Fassbinder sensibility and theatricality.
