Description:
Walk on Water (Israel/2004)directed by Eytan Fox.Most of the dialogue takes place in English, although there is much in Hebrew and German. Its name derives in part from Jesus' walking on water.Review The American ConservativeThe entertaining Israeli comedy-drama "Walk on Water," in which a macho Mossad assassin must ingratiate himself with a gay German tourist to ferret out the whereabouts of the German's almost 100-year-old ex-Nazi grandfather and kill him, paradoxically calls to mind the remarkably small impact Israelis have on popular culture.While the American media treat Nazi-hunting as a self-evidently essential task, the Mossad agent sees tracking a nonagenarian Nazi as a waste of time when he could be killing Arabs instead. Finally, making the German a putative homosexual leeches the intended irony from the movie. The point of "Walk on Water" is supposed to be the Israeli's eventual realization that the German, despite being the grandson of a mass murderer, is a better human being than he is, who uses his ancestors' victimization to justify his homicides. But if the German really is gay, then the motivation for his kindness toward the madly attractive Mossad man appears less than pure-hearted. "Walk on Water" would have worked better as a straight odd couple buddy movie.http://www.isteve.com/Film_Walk_on_Water.htm
