‘Snails in the Rain’
In this Israeli film set in Tel Aviv in 1989, Boaz (Yoav Reuveni) is a linguistics student committed to his loving girlfriend, Noa (Moran Rosenblatt). But soon Boaz questions his life when he begins receiving a series of obsessive love letters from another man. They expose the inner world of their author, who is deeply closeted and seems to know everything about him, including Boaz’s past attraction to other men. As the letters progressively consume his daily thoughts, paranoia soon sets in, making everyone around him a potential suspect. As his world unravels, Boaz must come to terms with his inner demons in order to finally accept his true self. TLA Releasing (tlareleasing.com). —Troy Carrington
