Saddened effects of a tragedy
This 2004 movie so universally depicts grief within a family, silent grief that manifests itself in different manners for each family member. It could be made anywhere. Throughout the duration of the movie, the director Nir Bergman, (his first film) has given the viewer a clear semblance of a family's depression and their lack of mechanisms for coping. We don't need to hear the words to grief and depression, we simply feel it. <

>Nine months ago, on a family ride, the father was killed by a bee sting. Dafna, the wife and mother is struggling with a car that needs work, a job as a midwife and the ever-present demands of a family of four that includes two teenagers and two youngsters. And like any single-parent family, the oldest children assume a greater role in childcare of the younger ones. <

>Teenager Maya wants to be a singer and musician, but she is filled with guilt as we later learn that it was she who needed the potty and caused her father to get out of the car. She breaks from her dreams because she knows her brother and sister need care. <

>The older brother Yair dropped out of school and takes a job delivering brochures dressed as a mouse. His communication gets more bizarre. And it's clear that this costume becomes his mask for coping. <

>The DVD format is crisp and clear, subtitles are very easy to read with no distractions. There isn't much else and it would have been great to hear commentary about this wonderful movie that is so universal. The movie has won numerous awards ....MzRizz <

My Favorite Movie
Hands down, this is my favorite Israeli movie - if not my favorite movie, period. At its simplest, most obvious, level, Broken Wings is the story of a family recovering from the tragic, untimely loss of their patriarch. Yes, it's a drama, but, if the old Shakespearean observation is correct, isn't all the world a stage? <
> <
>Broken Wing's primary strength is its characters: all of them feel heart-felt and tragic, prone to hurting themselves as much as others; in fact, it is because they're so realistic that you're almost instantly affected by their loss as much as they are. There is Yair, who has dropped out of high school because of his father's death; Maya, his 17 year-old sister, a struggling musician; Ido and Bahr, the little kids coping without their father or overworked mother; and Daphne, the matriarch struggling to pull her life together. Together, they embody and epitomize the largest range of human characterization and purpose I've seen in a work that wasn't Shakespearean. <
> <
>The theme is simple yet the most universal of all. In a country where death is omnipresent and often unexpected, Broken Wings manages to capture the emotions of moving on after death, people's irrationality when faced with death, and the essence of death - for what is death but a meditation for the living? Broken Wings is Israel's Hamlet. I cannot give it higher praise.
