We have cut this motion picture in summer of 2003, when a serious heat wave killed countless people in France: I can remember my body and brain virtually boiling while I was cutting shots with faceless monks, who were jumping everywhere, and while Christopher Lee’s deep, dark voice became the ultimate performance of “the bad guy”.

It was tough work to re-cut this feature film in Tel Aviv: thankfully, I had my friend and producer Edouard Douek by my side, as well as the marvellous “James Bond girl” Olga Kurylenko. Who could imagine better supporter for women’s position in Israeli society today?
