US Import

From award-winning director Amos Gitai (Kadosh) and starring the legendary Irène Jacob (Three Colors: Red), Shikunis a thought-provoking and shocking drama. A diverse cross-section of Israeli society converges in a single multi-use building. As people of different languages, origins, and generations come together in highly theatrical encounters, they grapple with the current state of affairs. In a poignant metaphor inspired from Eugene Ionesco’s famous play Rhinoceros, some begin to turn into rhinoceroses, while others resist.
