We first meet Rebecca (Natalie Portman) in a car. She is crying. She cries for a long time. Rebecca has hired a woman to drive her to the duty-free zone between Israel and Jordan where cars are traded, bought, and sold. We get Rebecca’s story in bits and pieces. She has broken up with her Israeli boyfriend and is looking for one of his friends, an American said to live in Jordan. But FREE ZONE is not about Rebecca and her man: it’s about her, the driver, and a third woman whom they pick up. It’s about how women survive in a part of the world always in crisis. It’s the first Israeli film filmed in Jordan. Portman was born in Jerusalem. If you haven’t seen a film by Gitai – one of the darlings of international film fests – FREE ZONE is a good place to start. ~ Nick Salerno Fred Linch will moderate an audience discussion after film.
