Kadosh (Sacred) April 10, 2011

Does adherence to religious belief and upholding social conventions come at the cost of the individual? Kadosh explores the lives of two sisters in Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox community who grapple with that very question: Rivka is in a childless marriage and Malka loves a man outside the religious community. Each must choose whether to obey the rabbi of the local yeshiva or live a life they passionately desire. (1999, 110 min. No MPAA rating. In Hebrew with English subtitles.)
