{"product_id":"aheds-knee_kin25894","title":"Ahed'S Knee","description":"\u003cp\u003eA celebrated Israeli filmmaker named Y arrives in a remote\u003cbr\u003e\ndesert village to present one of his films at a local library.\u003cbr\u003e\nStruggling to cope with the recent news of his mother’s\u003cbr\u003e\nterminal illness, he is pushed into a spiral of rage when the\u003cbr\u003e\nhost of the screening, a government employee, asks him to\u003cbr\u003e\nsign a form placing restrictions on what he can say at the film’s\u003cbr\u003e\nQ\u0026amp;A. Told over the course of one day, the film depicts Y as he\u003cbr\u003e\nbattles against the loss of freedom in his country and the fear of\u003cbr\u003e\nlosing his mother. Nadav Lapid (Synonyms, The Kindergarten\u003cbr\u003e\nTeacher) wrote Ahed’s Knee soon after the death of his own\u003cbr\u003e\nmother, who worked as an editor on many of his works. It offers\u003cbr\u003e\na sharp critique of the censorship, hypocrisy, and violence\u003cbr\u003e\ninstigated by Israel and repressive governments everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe fact that it was produced, largely funded, and highly\u003cbr\u003e\nacclaimed in its home country highlights the complexities\u003cbr\u003e\nof a national cinema that refuses to be muzzled, born of the\u003cbr\u003e\ndivisions of society itself. Winner of the Jury Prize at the Cannes\u003cbr\u003e\nFilm Festival, this boldly shot and conceived work feels as\u003cbr\u003e\nthough it has welled up from the depths of its maker’s soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConversation with Nadav Lapid (courtesy of Film at Lincoln Center) | Trailers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cinema Cellar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42064759685205,"sku":"KIN25894","price":19.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/ahedsknee_dvd.jpg?v=1768517056","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/aheds-knee_kin25894","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
