BIG BAD WOLVES

BIG BAD WOLVES
by Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado
Country: Israel
Year: 2013
Duration: 110'


A series of brutal homicides brings the lives of three very different men on a collision course: the father of one of the victims, desperately searching for revenge; the policeman who has been assigned the case and whose methods often go outside the law and standard procedures; and the prime suspect, a religious studies teacher who has been released on a technicality. Can the longing for vengeance transform itself into a deterrent for even worse crimes?

Declaration

film director

“Big Bad Wolves is a kidnapping thriller which draws inspiration from the society in which we live. Existential anxiety serves as Israel’s foundation and attempts to define and reinforce the legitimacy of the state: a fear of terrorist activities, primarily kidnappings, unremitting feelings of being persecuted, inherent intolerance and macho behavior topped with a historical craving for vengeance create an ideal breeding ground for extreme actions and subsequent reactions.”
