  • GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM

  • Feb 12, 2015 to Mar 27, 2015
  • Location: Lincoln Plaza Cinemas
  • Description:

    Music Box Films is proud to announce the release of GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM, the riveting, multiple award-winning drama from sibling directors and writers Shlomi and Ronit Elkabetz about an Israeli woman seeking to finalize her divorce (“gett”), and who finds herself put on trial by her country’s religious marriage laws.  This French co-production is scheduled to open on February 13 in New York (Lincoln Plaza Cinema) and Los Angeles (Royal) followed by a national roll out.

    In Israel there is neither civil marriage nor civil divorce; only Orthodox rabbis can legalize a marriage or its dissolution, which is only possible with the husband’s full consent.  Viviane Amsalem (Ronit Elkabetz) has been applying for a divorce for three years, but her religiously devout husband Elisha (Simon Abkarian, Casino Royale, Persepolis) continually refuses.  His cold intransigence, Viviane’s determination to fight for her freedom, and the ambiguous role of the rabbinical judges shape a procedure

    An original member of the Pattern and Decoration movement, applied and decorative art practices are often the basis for Kozloff’s large-scale public and fine art works. Since the 1990s, she has been using maps and globes to explore issues of social and institutional injustice.
