3) Big Bad Wolves
While you might not be afraid of one big bad wolf, how about going up against three of them? Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado dig deep in creating Big Bad Wolves, a revenge thriller that disregards cutesy games and channels raw, irrational emotion that will ruin fairy tales for anyone with a moral backbone. Being dubbed “The Best Movie Of The Year” by Quentin Tarantino, it’s easy to get lost in this chaotic collision of heartbreak, redemption, and judicial thinking – along with obvious undertones of seething rage.
Here’s how it starts: Gidi (Tzahi Grad) is a father whose daughter has just been murdered (brutally), Dror (Rotem Keinan) is the only suspect, and Miki (Lior Ashkenazi) is a detective convinced that Dror is the killer. Gidi takes matters into his own hands when he believes Dror walks free, capturing the suspected deviant, yet Miki’s own plans land him in Gidi’s trap as well. From here we’re subjected to torture scenes and unnerving tension, built with movies like I Saw The Devil and Oldboy in mind – but with an Israeli twist.
It’s, like, really good. Trust me.
