Very Frank Exploration of Traditional Vs. Modern Pulls on an Israeli Immigrant
“Late Marriage (Hatuna Meuheret)” makes “Monsoon Wedding” seem like a commercial Hollywood flick in comparison in dealing with a similar theme — families imposing traditional marriage on an adult son in today’s world.This film is an intense and heartbreaking examination of a Georgian Russian immigrant family pushing tradition on an older son in very modern Israel. Through a very gradual unveiling as we learn more and more about each member of the family and relationships, every character is strongly individually wrought, flaws and all, complex sympathies and all.
The blunt scenes demonstrating traditional relationships are paralleled with extremely frank contemporary ones.
I thought at first that the lack of a soundtrack virtually up until the closing scene was due to writer/director Dover Koshashvili’s obvious minuscule budget. Instead the closing band music punctuates a bittersweet, ironic tension-builder as the audience waits anxiously to see how the central figure of Zaza/Dooby resolved his unresolvable philosophical, familial and romantic dilemmas amidst very competitive, strong-willed women.
The sub-titles are sub-par; it’s awkward, for example, to translate “Shalom” as peace be with you as it’s really more just colloquial hello.

So who needs a plot and character development?
Apparently certain viewers are easily satisfied with this slice of exotic ethnicity sans the usual requirements of coherence and direction. I am not. As some have noted, it can be defined as a comedy only by some rather twisted logic. That involves the presumption that it is intended as an ironic portrayal of deeply flawed human behavior at odds with contemporary social norms.My own take is that everyone except the dog and the little girl seem to have come out of case studies in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). From the obese mother to the passive-aggressive son to the to the whole pack of stolid relatives who act as if nothing is strange about how they lead their lives, everything seems just plain weird.
As has been noted, the love-making scene is not badly done. And the acting prowess of Ronit Elkabetz should garner some future attention. I would say the same for the dog, but I don’t see him credited.
A klezmer version of “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” opens the final scene that deteriorates from there both in terms of plausibility and structural unity. Credits rolled without warning just as I was in the midst of a great yawn.
