The Debt
Rating: NR
Synopsis:
Nominated for four Israeli film awards, THE DEBT is a cat-and-mouse espionage thriller set in Israel in the mid-1990s. Rachel is a comfortably retired Mossad agent, having recently penned her memoirs. Thirty years earlier, she and her fellow agents, Zvi and Ehud, were honored for hunting, capturing and killing a malevolent Nazi war criminal, the "Surgeon of Birkenau." During the book launch party, Zvi re-emerges, telling Rachel that a frail, perhaps delusional, man in a nursing home in Kiev is now claiming to be the surgeon. THE DEBT is stylishly directed and shot, juxtaposing a youthful idealism and a 1960s secret agent aesthetic with a lonely, desperate, middle-aged quest to finish unfinished business.
