Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival - The Monkey House

A once-successful novelist tries to revive his fading career by launching a highly inventive plan with the help of an enigmatic young actress. Set in the 1980s, legendary Israeli director Avi Nesher's latest film is a delightful, sophisticated mixture of literary mystery, witty comedy, and moving character study a la Almodovar melodrama, as two lost souls make a connection that alters their lives forever. Nominated for 11 Israeli Academy Awards (Ophirs.)
