Movie Haiku:Imagine: an Israeli woman filmmaker garners worldwide awards & noms but Jan is NOT rooting for her? Despite beautiful technique & deep anthropolgical detail, this story of a young woman pressured into marrying her dead sister''s husband is like a Haredi version of JANE EYRE. Next time Burshtein should focus on directing & get herself a better screenwriter.
