The Flying Camel (1994)
Director: Rami Na'aman
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Slight Israeli comedy in which an ageing Jewish professor (determined to stop the city council's demolition of Bauhaus buildings) and an Arab garbage collector (whose father owned an orange grove on the site of the Jew's shack) first lock horns and then, predictably, join forces. Focused on questions of land, tradition and cultural difference, the film is easy to read, but too broad to provoke more than the odd chortle.Author: GA
