Schnabel's Miral
Falls Flat

Ponderousness, more than anti-Israel
bias, is problem with film based on
Palestinian novel.

George Robinson
Special to the Jewish News

L

et's get the controversy out of
the way immediately: Anyone
who finds Julian Schnabel's
new film, Miral, to be any more pro-
Palestinian or anti-Israeli than dozens
of other recent films about Israel's
policies in the West Bank hasn't been
getting out much.
The film definitely presents the
Israeli presence in Gaza and the West
Bank as an occupation and an illegal
one at that. It does include a scene in
which a young Palestinian woman,
the title character, is beaten by an
Israeli prison guard. It does have a
Palestinian character say that the
settlers on the West Bank represent
a danger to everyone else, especially
to the Israeli soldiers who are sent to
defend them.
These are unexceptional positions.
There are elements within mainstream
Israeli society that would tell you any

and all of the above things. And there
have been many Israeli films — made
by Israeli Jews, mind you — that have
argued strenuously against the occu-
pation and for a Palestinian state.
Schnabel's position is clearly that of
a supporter of the two-state solution,
of an opponent of the occupation and
of a Jew who wants the Palestinian
and Israeli activists to embrace one
another.
The film is dedicated to "those on
both sides who still seek peace and
the most sympathetic Jewish charac-
ter in the film is played by Schnabel's
daughter Stella. In a film that spends
a great deal of screen time affirming
father-daughter affinity, that strikes
me as a significant piece of casting.
The problem with Mimi, more than
alleged anti-Israeli bias, is that the
film is simplistic, ponderous, disorga-
nized and at a running time of nearly
two hours, tedious.
The film's action, rather foolishly,
covers a timeframe from 1947 to 1993.
