Frozen Days Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Claudio Carvalho Meow (Anat Klausner) is a young woman that wanders on the streets of Tel Aviv, dealing drugs in nightclubs to survive and spending the nights in empty apartments. When she meets Alex Kaplan (Pini Tavger) in a chat room, he schedules to meet her and she invites him to go to a nightclub. However, the place has a terrorist attack with a suicide bomber and Alex is seriously wounded, being hospitalized in coma. Meow moves to his apartment and gradually she assumes his identity. When Alex vanishes from the hospital, Meow discloses the escapism of her mind."Yamim Kfuim" is a fascinating and unforgettable movie that any fan of David Lynch will certainly worship. The promising director and writer Danny Lerner presents on his debut a stylish and intriguing low-budget movie shot in a magnificent black and white cinematography and with an awesome screenplay that uses the concept of "Jacob's Ladder" to end the story. In spite of that, the plot point is totally unexpected and I really loved this film. His work is supported by the gorgeous and sweet Anat Klausner, an unknown actress that has a stunning performance. I hope to have a chance to see his next work in a near future, and I can not understand how an actress with the potential of Anat Klausner has only this excellent movie in her filmography. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Identidade Roubada" ("Stolen Identity")
johno-21 I recently saw this at a screening by the Desert Film Society in Palm Springs. It's quite a remarkable film for a debut feature by a writer/director staring an actress in a lead role who is virtually every scene who had never acted in a film before, photographed by a cinematographer who never shot a feature film before and edited by an editor editing his first feature film. And all done for $25,000 in a 27 day shoot time over a period of four months when the cast and crew were free to work on it. Writer/director DannyLerner had done 25 short films as a film student and for his Tel Aviv University Film & Television school this film was his Masters thesis. This is a Film Noir style psychological drama shot in black & white except for a scene in the middle of the film that was shot in color. Miao (Anat Klauser) is a small-time drug dealer who sell psychedelics by the dose as she wanders the nights and nightclubs of Tel Aviv. She likes internet chat rooms and talking on her cellphone but has no fixed location to call home. She lives in empty apartments and carries a large chain of keys and lock picking tools. She meets a guy called Zero (Pini Tavger) whose real name is Alex on the internet and they soon become phone pals which leads to an eventual meeting at Alex's apartment. A second meeting at a nightclub where she claims the bathroom as her office for selling doses to patrons never happens because Alex is seriously wounded in a suicide bombing on his way into the club. Miao identifies the comatose Alex for the hospital and moves into his apartment and identity. Like the psychedelic doses she deals is this film a mind trip? What is reality and what is a dream or has Miao slid into schizophrenia and her sanity has unraveled? Do both Miao and Alex exist or are they the same? Lerner wanted a cast and a leading actress that would be unfamiliar to viewers and auditioned 15 actresses for the role of Miao. Some were well known Israeli actresses who wanted the role for no pay. Klauser ended up being eerily exactly the person he had in mind for the role. She was even wearing the same hairstyle and clothes when she showed up for the audition that he had envisioned for the character as he wrote the story. He was so impressed with her that he rewrote some of the script and allowed for some improvisation. If you see this film you will be impressed with Klausner too and I expect we will see more of her. Sandra Sade as the neighbor and Pini Tavger as Alex are the only cast and crew members with feature film and television role experience. Tavger is more familiar to Israeli viewers but he remains an unknown in this film because his screen time is shrouded by dark and shadow so we never really see his face. Ram Shweky is cinematographer and Tai Keller edits. Shot on video and edited with a filter to give it a film look. This won the Israeli Film Competition Award at the Haifa International Film Festival. Lerner took the $25,000 prize and divided it among the cast and crew. It looks like Lerner may be directing a film in English for US audiences called Kirot which is being called a femme Nikita type film. I didn't get a big payoff from the film's ending and there are a few flaws but this is a great feature debut for Danny Lerner and Anat Klausner is sensual and mesmerizing and I would hope for more Lerner/Klausner collaborations. I would give this an 8.0 out of 10 and recommend it.
wujekroman Saw it on the Warsaw International Film Festival, having seen no Israeli films before and known nothing about what to expect. What I saw and felt reminded me much of Christopher Nolan's "Following" (both of these films are debuts) though the director denied it being any inspiration for him and put Brian De Palma and Roman Polanski's work instead. What got me most impressed was that the entire crew, including fantastic first-timer Anat Klausner, had no experience in making feature films before. Meow is a lonely young girl who has a bad day. Her potential trip buyer turns out to be an annoying bloke who talks her into giving him an example of her stock and doesn't pay for it. The guy who recommended her to him doesn't want to let her in. Her motorbike gets stolen. And she's lonely. She finally gets to set up a date with the only man she feels like talking to - a chat-mate called Zero. The date ends up without her even seeing his face which however doesn't prevent her of kind of fall in love with him. But things go wrong. From then on the atmosphere gets more and more dense and dark. Meow takes up on Zero's life even against her own will and strange, Lynch-like things begin to happen. The film is beautifully shot in B/W and I have to admit the only colour scene is striking, however unoriginal may the idea itself be. The cast can't be complained about, the highlight being mentioned Anat Klausner, who almost doesn't disappear from the screen. The film surely has it flaws - one can point a few plot holes or such, but those can be freely forgiven for the overall entertainment and atmosphere the film provides. A high-quality debut that deserves a ten.
randomStuff101 A very unexpected combination of themes are played out in this carefully constructed Israeli noir trip. Right from the start it's clear we won't be pampered with the usual cookie-cut narratives and cinematic presentations of "normal" films. Rather, it takes you on a mysterious, gritty quest.Mostly at night, the high contrast close-ups of our central girl are striking. Her performance is mesmerizing.It's not without its flaws, and not all loose ends are tied the way we might want them to be. But the film has a more important goal. And as we follow her strange and disturbing search, we are forced to unravel clues before knowing even if there's a mystery to solve. When it becomes apparent there is indeed a mystery, we might feel the urge to jump to conclusions. Firm suspicions we may well have... but running along with her, feeling and knowing the heart wrenching realization that is about to unfold, is intense and moving.
