Poets & Writers previews Jellyfish, a film codirected by Israeli fiction writer Etgar Keret and his screenwriter wife, Shira Geffen. According to P & W, the film tells the interlocking stories of Batya, a waitress who takes in a child apparently abandoned at a local beach; Keren, a bride who breaks her leg at her own wedding; and Joy, a domestic worker who has abandoned her son in the Philippines. Shot in Tel Aviv, in Hebrew, Jellyfish was awarded the Camera d’Or for best debut feature at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and was an official selection of the Toronto International and Telluride film festivals." I'll be looking for it.
