With theThis occasionally-thrilling, though often-overwrought and somewhat overlong film detailing the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, as told from the viewpoint of his killer, baffles as much as it illuminates. With the exception of a handful of scenes in which assassin Yigal Amir is discouraged by family and friends for his views and plans, his actions otherwise are more glorified than condemned, while the right-wing nature of his politics (and his reasoning for shooting Rabin) is shrilled all out of proportion, almost to the point of sheer annoyance. Filmmaker Yaron Zilberman's treatment of the material is indeed odd, even if technically well orchestrated. But, despite this technical proficiency, one can't help but wonder what exactly the director was going for here -- or why there even needed to be a picture addressing this subject in this manner at this time. Quite a puzzle, to be sure. Expand
