巴勒斯坦马戏团

A dark comedy chronicling the trials and tribulations of a small circus troupe who visit the West Bank. When a lion escapes the camp, an unlikely alliance is forged between Russian lion tamer Mariana (Evgenia Dudina), Israelis Sergeant Bleiberg (Yoram Hatav), and a young Arab boy (Yousef Ibrahim), who join forces in a effort to find the beast before it can injury any unsuspecting townspeople. An charming, subtle, and politically astute comedy with more than enough heart to compensate for its low production values. Winner of five Israeli Academy Awards.
