Movie Haiku:Astonishingly accomplished "calling card" from first-time filmmaker. Created before Oscar-winner CRASH was released (& Jan thinks with better balance): a series of transforming moments linked by 2 auto incidents. Huge cast speaking Arabic, Hebrew, & Russian creating 3-D portrait of modern Israel in 39 powerhouse minutes.
