A gay love story between two Israeli and Palestenian soldiers, Fox's new film is also informed by its setting against the strife between Israelis and Palestinians. Like his beautifully rendered YOSSI & JAGGER, a love story between two Israeli soldiers, Fox's new film is also informed by its setting against the strife between Israelis and Palestinians. Although the film is titled THE BUBBLE there's nothing light and frothy about the subject matter. In fact, its story line is essentially "Romeo and Juliet," with a few adjustments. One is, that instead of Italy as a setting, THE BUBBLE (titled "Ha-Buah" in Israel) takes place in Tel Aviv. Oh, and the doomed lovers are both men. (SF Gate)
