Crappy film

Amateur movie with Big budget

Dirtylogy

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

This movie is a great comedy, with black tones. It was released as a TV movie for the Cable company in Israel. The fact that the new cable and satellite were required by law to produce original material here in Israel has created a wave of some interesting new movies, and Mivtza Savta is one of the best made.The story ties around all kinds of parts of the Israeli society which is made of the Army, Religious, Arab people.Rami Heuberger ("Krembo") is hilarious as the macho army officer. He delivers a sarcastic image of the Israeli army. The other actors are fine, and seem to be better than the average Israeli actors.A great production that is worth to be an International title, as it has a universal message.9/10

First of all I would recommend everyone in the holly land to see this movie. It deserves the statue of cult more than most cult movies. With regards to those of you who aren't familiar with Israeli mentality, 'Mivtza Savta' wouldn't mean much to you.The story is about three brothers who's grandma dies in the most uncomfortable moment. Grandma must be buried under the time constrains. The older brother 'Krembo', an army commander who returns to the kibbutz, takes command of the operation.There are people who would disagree with me, but I think this is the best Israeli movie ever made (yes even better than Eskimo Limon).

I think I saw this movie around 10 times only in my 3 years in the army.Although this movie was made for cable TV, it was a great success in Israel.Almost every school, every IDF base will have the film in their collection.I don't know how someone who doesn't live in Israel can get the humor of this movie, but it's worth the 50 minutes trying... & if you don't get the humor, just come live here for a couple of years.. that should do the job. :-)Ronen Rothfarb, ISRAEL.

First of all one needs to know that this is a very low budget film. That it is based on a true story might give people the wrong idea. IT IS NOT A TV-DRAMA!!! This is pure comedy! Knowing a bit about the situation in Israel and in Kibutzim nowadays is of course a pre, or you will miss a lot of the jokes. But even if you never heard of a kibbutz this is a funny little movie about 3 brothers trying to bury their grandmother in very hectic times.I give it an 8!
