If Big Eyes is your film
Metzitzim (1972)
Uri Zohar Tel Aviv trilogy humor, beach-town male restlessness
(unless frank seventies tone dates badly)
Save the Lifeguard (1977)
Same director's hangout comedy of drifting Israeli masculinity
(if aimless summer vibes bore you)
Broken Flowers (2005)
A man paralyzed by choices wandering through past relationships
(unless deadpan American indie feels colder)
