MJFF – Victory
Victory
Joyful, dazzling, and leaping off the screen with the spirit of an Israeli homage to La La Land and A Star Is Born, this delightfully original musical set in 1967 breathes new life into a bygone genre with thrillingly assured direction, powerful performances, a candy-coated color palette, and an irresistible excess of heart. In the wake of the Six Day War, Israel is basking in euphoria, and at the center of it all is Neta Agmon. She’s abandoned her mundane life on the Netzer Sirani Kibbutz to pursue her dream of becoming a renowned actress in Tel Aviv. But, as she climbs the ladder of fame and success, she remains oblivious to the profound changes in the love of her life, who has returned from the war a changed person. Amidst this exuberant and vibrant clash, the story unfolds, blending the allure of stardom with the backdrop of Israeli life in the 1960s.
