inside of me. This was right for me now
I'm a better filmmaker than I was when
I started, and I'm a smarter, more aware
person than I was:'
Knoller, too, is in a different situation
from where he was 10 years ago. Since
making the earlier film, he had a child
and a divorce and moved to Dimona to
start an acting school. Fox admits that
his star was a bit apprehensive about
revisiting a character from a decade ago.
"He was frightened:' Fox said. "He was
thinking, 'Maybe we'll ruin everything;
maybe we'll get it wrong: It took time to
convince him:'
It wasn't just Dr. Yossi Gutmann who
had changed in a decade. As Fox notes,
Israel itself has been transformed in
significant ways that had an impact on
his screenplay (Fox comes up with the
stories and characters and brings in a
screenwriter to finish the task.)
"Israel has changed in amazing ways;
it's not the Israel I grew up in:' he said.
"In Yossi's world, in my world, being gay
and a soldier didn't co-exist. You couldn't
have both identities.

"But as the film says, it's very different
being openly gay in Israel, in the IDF,
today. I wanted to show the character
that it's a new world out there:'
Will Fox revisit Yossi again? His just-
released new film, Cupcakes, is a musical
comedy about a group of six unhappy
women in a Tel Aviv suburb who decide
to enter the Eurovision song contest.
Next, he's aiming at a huge project, an
epic film about the Yom Kippur War.
But he won't say "never:'
"I'm a big believer in longstand-
ing relationships, and Yossi's ending is
what I wanted for him:' Fox said with a
chuckle. "But is this the ending? I can't
really say. I never thought I'd be doing
this sequel:'
