Profile of Campfire

The mood of Campfire is touching. The plot centers around impossible love, starting over, and teenage love. It is a drama, foreign, and romance movie. Stylistically, Campfire is a melodrama. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The pacing is slow. Campfire takes place, at least partly, in a bank. The setting is Israel. It happens in the 1980s. Campfire is known for being an award winner.

Summary of Campfire

Israeli Academy Award-winning director Joseph Cedar wrote and directed this intelligent, carefully crafted film. It follows Rachel (Michaela Eshet), a widowed middle-aged mother struggling to find her place in Israeli society in 1981, during the early days of the Israeli settlement movement.

Critics Reviews

Variety
Juggles several storylines that include the personal and political, but is unable to get beyond soap-opera shtick.
The New York Times
If Campfire is solidly acted, it is visually drab and has a haphazard narrative momentum.
