    The last Amos Gitai is built like a contradiction, according to two separate but necessary one to another, quality and content very different. In the first part of the film, we are in France, and more specifically in Avignon. One can imagine the summer sun piercing through the windows and held minor characters. Uli (Liron Levo), a young Israeli, Palestinian meeting a woman on board the train leading to France. Around a cigarette and a kiss, political tensions fade.

    After having climbed over a fence to exit the station, Uli joined his half-sister Ana (Juliette Binoche) in the family home, which watches over the body of their deceased father. In this first part of the movie, you will abstruse dialogues, Juliette Binoche trends aguicheuses and approach ébrieuse. When his brother Uli, he sleeps in the basement of the house in a camp for illegal immigrants and homeless, instead of using a room… A not understand anything about it!

    After the funeral, Ulia and Ana leave the car with their father in Israel to Ana found that the girl is abandoned in accordance with the wishes of his father. This is the second part of the film. While Ana joined her daughter teaching in a colony, Uli, Israeli policeman, is in charge of evacuating the settlement, in accordance with the disengagement of Israel in Palestine. This part of the film illustrates the difficulty for the Israeli settlers have to leave by force and under armed escort in these colonies which previous governments had pushed to move.

    Contrasté, Disengagement addresses many tracks without all explore, and can seem complex to grasp at first. A film that does not necessarily appeal, which could not spell nor disappointed nor really satisfied…
