This remarkable Israeli movie about arranged marriages starts as a romantic comedy: unmarried at 31, Zaza is an embarrassment to his family. Though they parade him past young, attractive, and eligible girls, he resists them all--because Zaza already has a secret love affair with Judith, a divorcée. Zaza knows his parents would never accept Judith; but when his parents find out, the results are worse than either of them ever expected, leading to a harrowing and sad conclusion. Every turn of the story is full of lively, unexpected details; there's not a predictable moment in the entire movie. Dover Koshashvili - 2003

I was thrilled to be asked to Malibu to interview these two: testaments to the long lasting possibilities of togetherness - Joshuah Bearman and Ronni Kappos they, together for 14 years now, married just over one, and open enough to talk about the road - including the bumps. For the interview they were house sitting at a gorgeous seaside estate, a true oasis. He a journalist, and she a jewelry designer - both with such individual strength and character. They were married in Africa, enveloped by a loving celebratory culture. They were there without their immediate families but gained a whole tribe/family of revelers to support their union. It was fascinating how many American rituals were integrated into the tribes' own. Neither groom nor Bride gave them any instruction on what they wanted out of the ceremony. I can't wait to edit this footage.
