Told
with a blend of Israeli humor and beautiful Japanese-influenced
cinematography, “A Matter of Size” sheds new light on the universal
underdog story. When an unassuming dishwasher discovers that his
life-long obesity makes him an ideal sumo candidate, he recruits
three equally rotund friends into the first Israeli sumo wrestling
team. When faced with romantic troubles and social discrimination,
Herzl and his friends realize that their real challenge is
self-acceptance. “A Matter of Size” was nominated in 13 categories
in the Israeli Film Academy Awards, and received a dazzling
reception at the 2009
Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
Israel, 2008, 90 minutes. Hebrew and Japanese with English subtitles
The Collaborative will host
a 20s and 30s wine and cheese reception in the Borowsky Gallery before
the movie. Please RSVP to
