WALK ON WATER (2004) (Israel) (Eytan Fox) (Languages: Hebrew, Italian, Turkish: subtitled in English)
to Hate Until He
Met the Enemy" . .
This enthralling award-winning film by internationally-acclaimed director Eytan Fox explores the motives, strengths, and, ultimately, the humanity of an Israeli assassin sent to rectify a wrong committed five decades earlier. Eyal is a top assassin in the Israeli secret service. He has killed terrorists before, but this time he is sent to eliminate a frail and elderly former Nazi war criminal Alfred Himmelman (Ernest Lenart). During his mission, Eyal meets his target’s granddaughter and gay grandson Pia and Alex Himmelman, who inadvertently help him uncover his own troubled history and face his own demons, while they discover the ugly truth that their family has hidden from them for decades.
What began as a straightforward mission, has suddenly escalated in intensity and complexity – thrusting three very different people into a thrilling triangle of murder, friendship and fate. 'Walk on Water' grapples with racial prejudice and homophobia without once seeming preachy; surprisingly, the spy storyline introduces these issues naturally, as Eyal's hostility towards Arabs and his blithe view of Nazi war criminals are central to his character. Eyal faces the crumbling foundation of his passive homophobia as he finds himself in an evolving , complex and intimate relationship with gay Axel.
The sexy actor Yousef "Joe" Sweid who portrays Rafik, Axel Himmelman' s (Knut Berger) gay Palestinian friend in this film goes on to star as the Palestinian lover of an Israeli army reserve officer in the 2006 smash hit film "The Bubble", also directed by Eytan Fox.
