...that makes the film so rich and beautiful. The slowness of its pacing, odd for a thriller, allows a great complexity of events within each shot. Instead of making points, imposing judgments by cutting between one action and another, Franju juxtaposes them within the same space, allows them to coexist without making a moral judgement. Refusing to simplify, he implies wilder and wilder combinations of good and evil in single figures and single scenes. The world of 1914 is complex, but also very ordered, within his frames.

Always the patient man of compromise, he provided an elastic framework of government wherein Israelis' divergent political passions could coexist. "Put three Zionists in a room," Eshkol used to say, "and they will form four political parties." Israel has no fewer than 13 parties, and it is a measure of Eshkol's talent as a moderator that eight of them, representing 93% of the electorate, were in his coalition government...
