Adama Meshuga'at (2006)

The setting of Sweet mud (2006) is a kibbutz in Israel during the 70's. The theme seemed interesting and I tried to watch it. I haven't seen that many Israelian movies, so that was one more reason for trying it out. But actually, I couldn't finish it. The cinematography was sweetly nostalgic, but the story was not. So what do we learn about life in the kibbutz? Well, mostly that it was a place for weirdos who deceive themselves in thinking that they represent an openminded and democractic lifestyle. The fact that one of the first scenes involved a boy witnessing a man's sexual feelings for a cow is quite revealing as to what kind of picture of kibbutz life the film tries to sell off.
