A while back Matt posted a review of The Bubble. According to Matt,
We love The Bubble (2006, pictured above) because it features a steamy gay romance between a Jew and an Arab. The Jew and Arab in question are actors Ohad Knoller and Yossef Sweid, both of whom appear often without their shirts on and/or locking lips. Though trapped in the sometimes vapid “bubble” of Tel Aviv and surrounded by violence, these hotties remain true to themselves (and their basic instincts) throughout this soap opera-esque romp through secrets, prejudices and the colorful streets of Tel Aviv.
Well, those of you in the US who love Middle Eastern hunks be prepared to be very happy! The Bubble is to be released in the US! According to this Ynet article,
The Israeli film The Bubble has been purchased for distribution in the United States. The movie, directed and written by Eytan Fox, is now being screened at the Berlin International Film Festival’s Panorama section.
The distribution company hopes that the film will gain the same success as Fox’s previous film Walk on Water, which was also represented by Strand. According to the company, Walk on Water was the greatest Israeli box office hit with sales surpassing USD 2.7 million in North America alone, and amounting to USD 7 million from commercial screenings worldwide.
Walk on Water was also chosen one of the best foreign films screened in the US in 2005.
Marcus Hu of Strand said that the company expected The Bubble to follow in the footsteps of Fox’s previous film with the strong support of the Jewish audience and the gay community.
The Bubble takes place in Tel Aviv’s Sheinkin Street and follows a group of young Tel Avivians living in an escapist bubble who are suddenly faced with the complex Israeli reality.
