ZCNSW Movie Night - Karaoke
Event description
Join us on Wednesday November 2nd at the Randwick Ritz to watch the Israeli box office hit "Karaoke".
Synopsis:
Meir and Tova (60) live a middle class life in a sleepy suburb, plagued by an unspoken sense of disappointment and regret. When Itsik Marziano (55) a former Miami based model agent, moves into their building, their lust for life is reignited. The couple is fascinated by the international open minded bachelor, who doesn’t succumb to social expectations. Meir tries to alter his appearance, in an attempt to transform him-self into a modern man, while Tova attempts to turn Itsik into their best friend. But soon enough, they become obsessive towards Itsik as they compete with their neighbors for his affection. In their attempt to win him over, their entire existence is turned on its head.
Winner of the Audience Award and Best First Film Award at Jerusalem Film Festival, and Best Actor (Sasson Gabay) and Best Actress (Rita Shukrun) at the 2022 Ophir Awards (Israeli Oscars), Karaoke is an entertaining and optimistic portrait of self-discovery, laced with poignant wisdom and barbed humour.
