This is a film about how an illicit media and obtuse public can take down a good man. Or, it is about how an obtuse man, cannot survive an illicit, capitalistic society, without cheating and lying. Or, it is about how a really good actor, can turn almost any worthless nobody into a hero, for a short time. Or, it is about how good Jews are at making connections, remaining cloistered and being Jewish, and how that can take one a long way. Or, it is about pure, unadulterated misery. How a film that is so dismal, nonsensical, and devoid of all humor and depth, can ever be made. The pivotal scene for me, was when this idiot Norman forces himself on a truly miserable, lesbian shrew, working for the justice department, and freely tells her he gave the brand new Prime Minister of Israel, a super-expensive pair of shoes, to curry favor, and it worked.
