Movie Haiku:Great works of art enable us to grasp the universal thru exquisite presentation of the particular. In this astonishing first feature, Bergman presents the story of an “ordinary” Israeli family, but it’s also a metaphorical examination of the national psyche once we understand that the missing father is… Yitzhak Rabin.***** For more, see the “Columns” section for Jan’s WJD review.
