Song of the Siren


A 1994 box office smash in Israel, SONG OF THE SIREN attracted more movie-goers than all other Israeli films of 1994 combined. On the eve of the Gulf War, Talila Katz, a smart, sexy Tel Aviv advertising executive, dumps her self-centered boyfriend, Ofer, and pursues the sweet but emotionally remote hunk Noah. Though air-raid sirens resound all around her, Talila, 32, is preoccupied with winning Noah’s love. But as her parents squabble and her sister endures an unfaithful husband, Talila faces the question of aloneness. As neighbors and friends don gas masks in sealed rooms, Talila is consumed with matters of the heart. Based on the best-selling novel by Irit Linur, SONG OF THE SIREN presents a new kind of Israeli heroine: Talila is irreverent, audacious, and funny and she is contemptuous of the traditional macho values woven through Israeli society.
