FREE ON CINEGEEK.De Life According To Agfa 

 A pub in the middle of Tel Aviv where everyone meets: Jews, Palestinians and Israeli Arabs, people from the city and the country. Whether soldier, Zionist or Intifada supporter, you drink together. It's a place where the togetherness seems to work, where most of the characters in the film are drawn repulsively and greasily. Why should we be interested in their problems at all, which could be the result of a soap opera? The scenery looks a bit like theatre, which is also due to the fact that amateur actors were engaged. With a little good will, however, you get an overview of the slowly boiling emotions, held together by the basic idea that the owner Lenora captures the action with snapshots (on Agfa, which gives the film its title). Finally, a group of Israeli soldiers enters the bar and the situation escalates. They harass a waitress and provoke the guests. Obviously they rate the pub as "left". They are thrown out, but the spiral of violence is unstoppable. At the end of the night there is the apocalypse. Director Assi Dayan is the son of the former Israeli defense minister and despite all his weaknesses, he probably made the most important Israeli film ever. Basically we experience the whole Middle East conflict in the microcosm of the bar. Is there hope? Hardly.
