Live And Become
Film Trailer
Released December 30, 2005
Award-winning 'Live And Become', the beautifully crafted, epic story of migration, assimilation and identity which recently opened the UK Jewish Film Festival, is due open in cinemas across the United Kingdom on December 30 2005.
Directed by Radu Mihaileanu(Les Pygmées de Carlo, Train of Life), 'Live And Become' opened to rave reviews in France where it has taken over 500 000 admissions. It was awarded the Label Europa Cinemas Award, The Panorama Audience Award and The Ecumenical Jury prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival and also went on to win Best Film at the Copenhagen International Film Festival in August 2005. At the recent Toronto Film Festival, 'Live And Become' received several standing ovations and was first runner up in the coveted People's Choice Award.
Starring Yaël Abecussis (Haïm ze Haïm, Alila) and Roschdy Zem (Dreams of Trespass) 'Live And Become' is a gripping and engaging tale of deception and survival that entwines the issues of politics, religious right, love and identity around the fate of one young boy. In 1984, displaced by civil war and famine, hundreds of thousands of Ethiopians walked the long road to refugee camps in Sudan. Hidden among them were the Falashas, Ethiopian Jews and direct descendents of King Solomon. Israel airlifted the Falashas to a new life in Israel. In the mayhem, a starving Christian mother entrusts her 9-year old son with a bereaved Falasha mother. When the 'mother' of the newly named Schlomo (Agazai) dies, he is adopted by kind, liberal people. Wracked by his loss and the gravity of his secret, Schlomo struggles against his good fortune, unable to come to terms with a new country, a new culture and its own prejudices.
An Elzévir Films and Oï Oï Oï Productions presentation, 'Live And Become' is released in the United Kingdom by The Works UK Distribution Ltd and opens in cinemas across the UK from December 30th. Certificate 12A. Running time 140mins.

fructus duodecim, per menses singulos reddens fructum suum; et folia ligni ad
sanitatem gentium.

life that produces fruit twelve times a year, once each month; the leaves of
the trees serve as medicine for the nations.

I recently saw this film at the jewish film festival in Detroit, MI USA. I
found it extremely moving and was impressed with both the story and the film
quality. The story line is something that few people outside the jewish
community know about but they should. Israel is a stuggling country with
neighbors on all sides that would like to see it gone. Most of the people in
Israel are very happy to see jews of any color from any land come join them in
their ancestral homeland. Schlomo was not jewish from birth but became a jew by
living as a jew.
