Loosely inspired by Dostoyevskys Crime and Punishment, Dissolution
combines an almost surreal fairy-tale energy with brutal
black-and-white realism to explore the condition of violence which
permeates contemporary Israeli society. Shot in Jaffa (the
predominantly Arab area of Tel Aviv), the movie follows the moral
collapse and possible redemption of a young, morose Israeli Jew,
powerfully played by a non-professional actor, David (Didi) Fire.
