HOME + A BODY CALLED LIFE + GARDENER OF THE GALAXY
"If the details in Benny Fredman’s latest movie, Home, the story of an ambitious young ultra-Orthodox man who opens a computer store in his neighborhood only to see it destroyed by religious thugs, ring true, that’s because it’s based quite closely on the director’s own experiences. 'When I went to make the movie, I had two choices: to make a movie about a guy who opens a store and gets into trouble... or to tell the story that I chose to tell, a much bigger story about a couple who lives together in the same house and discovers there is no connection between them – not in their dreams or aspirations, on the border of a marriage that is a complete mistake, and what they do with that, how they survive and manage to build a home, how they overcome their differences and stay together.”
