Yolande Zauberman’s documentaries venture into the lesser-seen corners of life in Israel; her latest film is inspired by the journey of a transsexual woman who apparently travelled from Gaza to Tel Aviv on foot, in search of a new life. Film critic Lisa Nesselson applauds this insightful endeavour, and tells us why questions surrounding gender are less entertaining in “Marcello Mio”, French director Christophe Honoré’s latest feature starring Chiara Mastroianni and Catherine Deneuve. We also check out a new version of the fascinating 1982 film “Chien Blanc” and discuss the apocalyptic high jinks in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga”, fresh from its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
