Annette


Yesterday my daughter and her fiance took us to the Cinematek Tel Aviv, to see a very long "rock opera", Anette. It is about a double murder drama. Motive: Doubts about the paternity of Anette, the baby symbolized in the film by a puppet. The emotional crisis is represented by a fantastic storm in the sea. The monologues of the main character, a start-up actor are answered by a Greek chorus formed by the audience. It is extremely stylized. The catharsis came with the final scene in the jail when Annette - this time a real girl - rejects her father's love. I understood the story only after looking it up on Wikipedia.
