The City

Making its Boston premiere, this dazzling Israeli musical took Israel by storm and smashed box office records.

Brace yourself for rhythms of pop music, the intrigue of neo-noir, and the heart-pounding thrill of detective cinema.

The plot focuses on the character of Joe, a cynical and bitter detective working in a corrupt, decaying city. One stormy night, a young woman named Sarah Bennett comes to Joe's office and tells him about the mysterious disappearance of her sister. Joe decides to take the case, a decision that could cost him his life.

Co-sponsored by Boston Jewish Film, this exciting evening begins with a falafel dinner and time to shmooze and concludes with a talkback. 

The movie isn’t just showing off its cleverness, although if it were, it would be understandable.  Instead, it’s using the noir/rap package to create and critique a canvas of Israeli society
