Abstract:
The events in "Nina's Tragedies," a flighty Israeli film that takes whimsical tangents into the absurd, spring from entries in a secret journal kept by a glum, bespectacled 14-year-old boy with a dirty mind (Aviv Elkabets), as the movie gyrates between comedy and pathos, it toys with magic realism that never bursts into full-flowered surrealist fantasy. The boy is besotted with his mother's beautiful, high-strung sister Nina (Ayelet July Zurer), who is unexpectedly widowed when her new husband is killed in a terrorist attack. Ms. Zurer, whose blend of beauty and spirited eccentricity suggests an Israeli answer to Diane Keaton, is the steadiest light illuminating a film that takes in the topsy-turvy world of contemporary Tel Aviv through an adolescent's distracted glances. - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
