"M.G. Rehearsals for Departure" Moshe Gershuni, film by Ziva Postec 1997Lora Productions1 min 46 sec - Jul 14, 2007A beautifully shot dramatic documentary in which the artiste is not only questioned as an object but actively participates. The painter Moshe Gershuni, is one of Israel's most important and internationally acclaimed artists. He reveals in the film his most intimate life motives. Gershuni is a "total" artiste, and a religious one in the sense that there is no distinction between his life and his art (his faith). The problems he grapples with in his daily life are the same as those that concern him in his work. Gershuni represents the Jewish-Israeli experience in all it's diversity: Yiddish & Hebrew, Holocaust & Zionism, a romantic longing for western culture and a "Native" Israeli world. All these motives blend into an immense experience of authentic emotional tensions and conflicts. The film it self is a preparation for a parting, a summing up of a life, crammed into a few days and through the prism of the artist's works.
