Yellow Asphalt Movie Review 2001

Writer-director Verete presents a collection of three fictional stories that highlight real-world cultural differences between Arabic Bedouin tribes and the Jewish community in Israel: the accidental death of a Bedouin boy at the hands of two callous Israelis, a German woman attempting to flee her stifling Bedouin marriage with her daughters, and a Bedouin maid caught having a forbidden affair. Grand view of the Middle East's desert. In Hebrew and Arabic, with English subtitles.
