## Description

Product Description               After the death of her husband, an Israeli mother wrestles with her own grief and that of her four children while working two jobs to keep their family together.                  .com               An uncommonly powerful film, Broken Wings captures a family in mid-disintegration: A midwife at an Israeli hospital struggles to hold her children together in the wake of their father's death. Maya, a gaunt, pale young woman, aspires to win a band contest; Ido, a boy bullied at school, tries to film himself jumping from heights; Yair, a teenage boy, wallows in the meaninglessness of existence as he hands out flyers, dressed in a mouse costume. This may sound tedious or excruciating, but it's given vivid life by an incredible cast and a humor that manages to be absurd and a little sad at the same time. The movie embraces its characters with a profound empathy; it's hard to imagine that anyone could watch Broken Wings and not be deeply moved by the end. Not surprisingly, the movie has won numerous awards at film festivals around the world. --Bret Fetzer

    An amazing film experience
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2004*

The trauma that accompanies the sudden loss of a beloved family member is being repeated all over the Middle East today. Behind the headlines are the stories we never read about. One of these is told metaphorically in Nir Bergman's brilliant first effort Broken Wings. It is not an overtly political film, but the implications are clear. Set in the Israeli port city of Haifa, it depicts the effect of the loss of a patriarch on each member of his family, perhaps suggesting the emotional state of Israel since the murder of Yitzhak Rabin. The 83-minute film won accolades at the Berlin International Film Festival and has been a huge critical and commercial success in Israel, winning nine Israeli Academy Awards in 2003. The beautifully expressive Maya Maron, in her first major role, plays an Israeli teenage singer-songwriter (also named Maya) who dreams of becoming a rock star, and wears wings when she sings in her local band. As the film opens, Maya is singing a song she wrote in memory of her father who died suddenly nine months earlier, for reasons not disclosed until the end of the film. Her song is interrupted when her mother Dafna (stage actress Orly Zilberschatz Banai), a nurse, phones and tells her that she has been called to work on the night shift at the local hospital and needs Maya home to take care of her brother Ido and sister Bahr. Maya emphatically refuses, then relents, but the tension between mother and daughter is palpable. The young woman, who was with her father when he died, does not fully grasp the guilt behind her bottled-up rage, and takes out her anger on her mother, who is both sympathetic and irritating as she labors wearily to keep the family from a collision course. We learn that each family member is suffering the father's loss in his or her own way. Dafna stayed in bed for three months, leaving the children to do the parenting, and the results are reflected in their erratic behavior. Six-year old Bahr wets her bed and Ido carries out a strange ritual of filming himself while jumping into an empty pool. The oldest brother Yair (Nitai Gaviratz), also a teenager, has been suspended from school, and hands out leaflets on commuter trains dressed in a mouse costume while expressing a nihilistic philosophy to anyone who will listen. His inability to respond to the words father, fear, and anger during a word association test prompts his school counselor to deny him re-admittance until he receives treatment, but he does not help his cause when he tells the counselor "Your words are meaningless. This conversation does not exist and you don't exist." Yair tells Maya that "things could be worse," and they do get worse before they get better. Broken Wings may sound depressing, but in Bergman's skillful hands, its sadness is balanced with humor and the strength and dignity of its characters. Stylistically, the film doesn't break any new ground, but displays the kind of insight that allows us to learn something new about ourselves. Though rooted in reality, Broken Wings has a heart that leaps and a soul that soars, and it's a film that I truly loved.

    Wanted to see this movie for over 10 years
  

*by N***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 18, 2020*

WOW. This is movie is many things - a family drama, a story of teenagers' coming of age, a single mother's struggle mixed with some middle age crisis and loneliness, all wrapped into one with great mastery and subtlety. It is a tearjerker that doesn't try to be one. In fairness, you'll laugh some, too.It doesn't try too hard to be anything - it is just good, just right, well-balanced, well-told uplifting drama with a few laughs and cries mixed in. If your soul needs a bit of "caffeine" to re-awaken, then run, don't walk to watch this.P.S. I really don't get how all the great reviews add up to 3 stars? Some bug in the review system, I suppose.

    Teenage angst and a mother's grief
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2010*

This film is the story of a family trying to come to grips with the death of the father/husband.  The children are gifted, the mother is exhausted, and each family member is struggling with his/her own attempt to recover from the death of their husband and father several months earlier.The family's four children have to look out for each other; the heaviest burden falls on the older girl, who is a songwriter who has just been discovered by a recording company.  It's a nice story and an interesting view into ordinary Israeli life.  Set in modern Haifa, the film will interest those who like psychological drama and Israeli films in general.  You won't waste your money on this film; while not superlative, it is well done and satisfying.
