Israeli satire first screened at Cannes. It will get an arthouse run in the USA in March or April.
The critics loved it. It scores 86 at Metacritic and 87% on the Tomato Meter.
Following the October 7 attacks, Y., a pianist and comedian, is struggling to make his career a financial success, when he is commissioned to compose the music for a new national anthem, explicitly celebrating the demolition of Palestine.
Variety said:
A whirling, maximalist satire at once despairing and exuberant, subtle as a cannonball in its evisceration of the ruling classes and those who obey them, it’s both absurdist comedy and serious-as-cancer polemic: as grave as any film with an extended dance break to 2000s novelty hit “The Ketchup Song” can possibly be.
