Ofir Raul Graizer Talks America at Miami Jewish Film Festival

FlickDirect correspondent Allison Rose was on site for the Southeast US premiere of America. Take look as she interviews award winning writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer (The Cakemaker) about his latest entry at The Miami Jewish Film Festival. #JewishFestival #miami #TheCakemaker  ABOUT AMERICA Visually iridescent and unexpectedly uplifting, America is the hotly anticipated award-winning film from director Ofir Raul Graizer, of The Cakemaker fame. Sincerely felt to the last with vibrant production design reminiscent of the best in Pedro Almodovar’s established oeuvre, the film follows a Chicago-based swimming coach who is unexpectedly forced to return to his native Israel after his father’s death. After contacting an old friend he hasn’t seen in 10 years – as well as meeting his friend's fiancée – an incident soon occurs that creates a seismic shift in each of their lives. A summery melodrama, bright and verdant and attuned to the languor of the Middle East heat, America has a novelistic sprawl and an intimate bent as it carefully unfolds the three well-drawn characters in beautifully captured chapters. Winner of the Best Actress Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival, this sensual cinematic experience is a work of true magic, all built with love and redeemed by love.  ABOUT THE MIAMI JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL The Miami Jewish Festival is an annual event that celebrates Jewish culture and heritage in the Miami area.
