Or (My Treasure) – Israel, 2004

Head over to Fandor to watch this incredible Israeli film. You’ll need a membership ($10 per month) to view it, but it’s worth it.

Brian Murnion is a filmmaker, creative director, poet, and self-proclaimed intellectual scrub from Billings, Montana. He spends an unreasonable amount of time obsessing over the connective tissue between music, film, literature, and whatever else seems culturally or aesthetically significant at any given moment. His curation process is equal parts curiosity, fixation, and blind luck, driven by the irrational hope that brilliance is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the chaos.

A masterpiece film in Italian cinema.
