Monday Movies: Three Days and a Child
Auteur Film by Uri Zohar (Hebrew with English Subtitles)
Uri Zohar has frequently been called the “Godard of Israel.” Adopting methods from the French New Wave of cinema, his film Three Days and a Child portrays the cityscape of Jerusalem, through which mathematics student Eli drifts with his ex-girlfriend’s son.
During the three days Eli is supposed to babysit, he relives painful memories of the love of his life and engages in a dangerous game.
Zohar’s auteuristic films ushered in Israeli’s cinema’s “New Sensibility,” which turned its back on collectivism and focused on individuals.
David Gurfinkel was the camera operator of Three Days and a Child. In this clip, he discusses the 2015 digital restoration of the film, which was sponsored by the Jerusalem Cinemateque and carried out by Realworks Restoration Studios (Hebrew with English subtitles).
