Review of Out in the Dark (2012) by Eric H — 04 Feb 2015
It's one of the most powerful films about the Arab-Israeli conflict that has ever been attempted on the screen. Tel Aviv and the West Bank may be worlds apart in terms of culture, politics and religion, but Mayer cleverly merges them into a single claustrophobic continuum of paranoia, violence and corruption that corrodes everything it touches.
A tender gay romance conducted across the Gaza Strip that flips into thriller territory halfway through, to unsettling effect. By turns dynamic, dangerous and bursting with passion, Out In The Dark is a stark, swoonsome romantic drama.
