Song of Songs (Appignanesi, 2006)

Film Description

A devoutly religious girl returns from Israel to care for her dying mother, but when she tries to bring her estranged brother David back into the fold, in accordance with her mother's wishes, the result is a journey into the darkest realms of sexual obsession and a forbidden game under the guise of religious law. Dark and ambiguous, this study of belief and desire, set in the cloistered world of London's Orthodox Jewish community, thoughtfully explores the links between faith and violence, denial and longing.
