Fisherman In Jaffa

1962 · 9 min

A lyrical documentation of the world of Jaffa's fishermen. The influence of British documentary tradition - as well as the films of directors like Joris Ivens or Georges Franju - is evident in Fishermen in Jaffa. In a carefully-planned frail structure of narrative, the film progresses from daylight to night. In it Perlov creates at the same time a vast, panoramic view, and an intimate, private one - whether he films a lone cat wandering on the dock, or the glowing faces of the fishermen. This early film already depicts Perlov's unique style.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Fisherman In Jaffa is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1962. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
