Naomi
Directed by Eitan Tzur
Written by Edna Mazia
Israel/France, 2010
If prostitution is the world’s oldest profession, then tales of infidelity must be one of the oldest forms of storytelling. From the bible to Nabokov, Adele’s entire discography to Adrian Lyne’s entire filmography, the devastating consequences of adulterous liaisons have provided ample inspiration for impassioned pieces of art.
Eitan Tzur’s extramarital drama piece, Naomi, hopes to break new ground in this impermeable genre, but instead of cultivating inspiration and adding to the library of pivotal staples, Naomi’s uninspired efforts makes it a poorly adapted translation of well-established works.
Married to the 28-year old Naomi (Melanie Peres), Ilan (Yossi Pollak), a middle-aged astrophysics professor, becomes suspicious of his wife when their marital routines start to go astray. When his insecurities become realized, Ilan’s life spirals into a dark tailspin of despair, resulting in unfathomable repercussions.
