The most fanny movie ever made in Israel

Alex Holeh Ahavah (Hebrew: אלכס חולה אהבה‎, Alex Is Lovesick) is a 1986 Israeli cult film directed by Boaz Davidson. It stars Eitan Anshel, Sharon Hacohen, and Uri Kabiri. The film, set in the 1950s, features a boy (Anshel) as the main protagonist and his life as the son of Polish immigrants.

The film is a romantic comedy that takes place in Israel during the austerity period of the 1950s. The main character is Alex, a 12-year-old boy who is about to turn 13 and attend his bar mitzvah.

Alex comes from a poor, dysfunctional family of Polish Jewish origin whose poverty requires them to share their apartment. Their tenant is Faruk, a Persian man whose humorous battle against baldness is a running bit in the film.

At first, Alex falls in love with Mimi, the new girl in his class. Everything changes, however, when his aunt Lola arrives in Israel from Poland to search for a lost love with whom she once lived but who vanished after the Nazi invasion of Poland. Alex falls for his aunt and she responds by providing the soon-to-be 13-year-old with more than familial love.

The film authentically recreates the atmosphere of the country in the 1950s, known as the Austerity in Israel, including the black market, radio broadcasts concentrating on the search for lost relatives, music and pastimes of the 1950s and the era’s clothing and dress styles.

The protagonist’s name, Sallah Shabati, is perhaps a play on the phrase ‘Sliḥa she’bati, “I apologize for coming”. In earlier print versions of Kishon’s short stories which were revised for the film, the character was known as Saadia Shabtai.

The Rooster is an Israeli comedy film from 1971 starring Haim Topol and directed by Uri Zohar.

The film describes the difficult life of IDF soldiers in the war of attrition in the south. They are subjected to rocket fire, cut off from their families and just want a vacation. This is also described in the theme song “I Want to live”, sung by Haim Topol, who plays the role of a sergeant in the army, serving in the canal Suez. He goes on a few day’s vacation and is supposed to meet his wife for a divorce ceremony in the rabbinical. In the meantime, he hangs out with random women, and goes through some erotic adventures, all the while thinking that the guys at home won’t believe him, so the movie is called in English except for “The Rooster”, also “Boys Will Never Believe It”.
