The wedding referred to in the film’s title is that of the son of a Galilee village headman, or Mukhtar, Abu-‘Adel. His anxiety over the entrapment of the horse ln an Israeli mine-field and his relief at its extrication dwarfs any sentiments he could ever have regarding his son’s wedding. The sexuality and permissive sensuality of the film is certainly unrealistic and misleading. The Arab youths plot violence. A thoroughbred gets loose and runs to a mined field; soldiers and Arabs must cooperate to rescue it. Guests gather. It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. The film’s political focus is an attempt by a few young men from the village to assassinate the military governor in revenge for the torture one of their comrades. The groom berates his father for agreeing. On the contrary, the authorities’ all-pervasive apparatus of repression and control is very much in evidence: the presence of the secret service (Shin Beth) is endemic, the notorious Emergency Regulations are still applied, and Arab lands are continually confiscated. Hence the need for a permit to hold the wedding. (Yet we ourselves should be aware of the crucial difference between those former rulers and the present-day Israelis: the latter are always accompanied by land surveyors, in preparation for land confiscation.). Consequently, the bridegroom’s anger emerges as a somewhat artificial surprise. Women ritually prepare the bride; men prepare the groom. And the story proceeds inexorably towards a climax ‒ the consummation of the marriage ‒ in a gripping fashion. Rather, Khleifi seems to take refuge in “orientalist” stereotypes of female sensuality and male sexual fantasies. Indeed, his children seem to pay little attention to him. Women ritually prepare the bride; men prepare the groom. Still from Wedding in Galilee Courtesy of Michel Khleifi But what makes Wedding in Galilee such an unusual film, is that despite a contentious setting at the frontlines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the film goes beyond the obvious, instead untangling the subtle, complex relationships at the heart of everyday Palestinian life. Two points must be made about Khleifi’s treatment of this subject. The second, related point is the film’s conscious and deliberate appeal to Western audiences. The wedding narrative correlates to mankind’s redemption. Even the incarnation, the cross, the resurrection, and the ascension point straight to this one supremely glorious future event: the Wedding Feast of the Lamb. 3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”[literally ran out] The film, however, must be seen as a serious attempt not only to portray a traditional Arab wedding in Galilee, but also to grapple with important issues of Palestinian Arab society. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Present-day Galilean society is monogamous, and the Arabian horse has largely been replaced by the car. The groom berates his father for agreeing. In fact, the military administration in Galilee was formally abolished in 1966. It will be our greatest day—and His…. However, the family honour, as perceived by the Mukhtar, his wife and the villagers, is a crucial issue and ought to have been developed more systematically. The wedding referred to in the film’s title is that of the son of a Galilee village headman, or Mukhtar, Abu-‘Adel. I found the blend of the villagers’ attachment to the land, the archaic surroundings at the village houses and the picturesque scenery most exhilarating against the rhythmic folk-style music. Of course, this is not to say that the political reality under Israeli civilian rule is rosy or that there is no national oppression of Palestinians within the Green Line. Plot Keywords The military governor agrees, on condition that the ceremony is concluded within 24 hours and that he and his officers are invited to attend.
