回复 :夫妻离异、母亲出走，让原本的五口之家瞬间分崩离析，生活的重担轰然转嫁到年轻的长子身上，而这个眼神依旧懵懂的少年竟不惧万难，独自扛起照顾弟妹的责任，为家人们搭建了一间怪异但安稳的蛛网之屋。玛拉·艾伯-艾比费德在她的这部长片处女作中表现了杰出的艺术才华，她将一个社会新闻般的故事核丰满为极具蒂姆·伯顿式狂想、隐喻的黑色童话，让人物游刃有余地漫溯在悲惨现实与梦幻童趣的界限之间。同时，黑白影调的处理也令本片平添了一缕遗世独立的隽永气息。

回复 :The issue of War widow representation in Israeli cinema is one of the most complex for the local industry for it seems to be unique and with a very local and specific iconography.The war Widow is a difficult character to digest. Because this is an especially painful topic in Israel, its mode of representation is almost always problematic.Gila Almagor in Tofano's "siege" is one of the first characters of the "modern" war widows to appear on Israeli cinema screens.The human and social complexity of the status of widows was not represented adequately and personally until her complex and fine appearance in this film.It was mostly Preceded by cliches of heroic women who have sacrificed for the nation with characters to which it was very difficult to get attached, nor to their personal grief."Siege" was directed by an unknown Italian director of that period. Although Gilberto Tofano was brought as a professional director on the wings of inspiration made by the French New Wave of those years, he managed to turn out a very exciting work which has caught the Israeli warmth and sense of social siege which surrounds the Israeli widows, including the great expectations from them and the social stigmas.Tofano wrapped his leading lady with lots of warmth and gave a place of honor to Almagor's impressive presence in the film.This is without a doubt one of Almagor's best and most accurate performances. The restraint in her performance plus the shooting and expressive use of angles by Tofano and his soft European touch which was far off from the aggressive local product managed to produce a sense of documenting an authentic tragedy with a tangible personal touch that minimized the national dimension. The result stands the test of time proudly several decades after its creation.
