Black Notebooks: Ronit

Based on family archives and excerpts from the trilogy created by Ronit and Shlomi Elkabetz - BLACK NOTEBOOKS: RONIT invites us into the intimacy of a Jewish-Arab family, a family of uprooted exiles, in an imaginary story where a brother and sister revisit the past and the present to defy an implacable future.

Ronit Elkabetz was a beloved and critically acclaimed star of Israeli cinema (LATE MARRIAGE, OR, GETT). Elkabetz’s versatility, beauty and magnetism prompted the New York Times, in 2008, to dub her “Israel’s Meryl Streep,” while other international critics compared her to an Almodovar heroine. She co-directed three films, including GETT, with her brother, Shlomi Elkabetz. BLACK NOTEBOOKS: RONIT chronicles the process of making GETT, and follows the film’s release and Ronit’s life with terminal illness. She died in 2016 at the age of 51.
