Footnote - Hearat Shulayim (1:43) 2011

Two rivaling men, father and son, struggle to maintain a relationship in modern day Jerusalem. Eliezer Shkolnik, the father, is a long time Talmudic studies researcher.  His long time hope has been to receive the coveted Israel prize. His son, Uriel also a Talmud scholar but highly published and highly regarded. Much to the family's delight, Eliezer's dream comes true when the long awaited telephone call announces he is the winner of the Israel prize. The next day, Uriel receives a phone call, his father's award was meant for him. If he accepts, he knows he will lose what little of the relationship he has with his father. And yet, Uriel knows that his father is a honest man true to his profession. This dark comedy from Israel was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Film.  Subtitled in English, the film contains quirky characters with a humorous bent. The film is considered a gem by the critics and I would agree.
