Cinemagogue - The Farewell Party

A group of friends at a Jerusalem retirement home construct a machine for self-euthanasia in order to help a terminally ill pal in a poignant, provocative dramedy. Boasting a dream cast of septuagenarian talent, a finely honed visual sense and superbly ironic comic timing and dialogue, the pic pits the ethics of assisted suicide against the right to die with dignity. Theatrical returns in Israel should be, er, out of this world while offshore, positive word of mouth should smooth the way for this compassionate handling of inherently depressing material.
