August: A Moment Before the Eruption
2002, English. Directed by Avi Mograbi.
A documentary filmmaker goes out to document August, since he believes that this month constitutes a metaphor of whatever is hateful in the State of Israel. Yet while doing so he himself becomes August. "August" is a partly documentary and partly fictional film that portrays a month in the life of a filmmaker and his wife. He wishes to document the month of August, since he believes that this month constitutes a metaphor of whatever is hateful in the State of Israel. She, on the contrary, is rather fond of August, which represents to her all that is optimistic.
