Ephraim Kishon is perhaps best known for directing Sallah Shabati, a film that garnered multiple awards and put Israeli cinema on the world stage. But Kishon is first and foremost a satirist and writer whose books and plays have been translated into over 40 languages and have earned him the Israel Prize. This documentary paints an intimate portrait of the legendary artist - a Hungarian Holocaust survivor and immigrant to the fledgling state of Israel - through interviews, archival footage, animation and in-depth conversations. The result is a captivating film that highlights Kishon’s acerbic wit, playful approach to language and above all, his zest for life.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Overrated

Ariella Broughton

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
