Palestinian Scandar Copti and Israeli Yaron Shani collaborated on this independent drama, which examines how the troubled relationship between their countries colors everyday life in the Middle East. Nasri (Fouad Habash) is a teenager whose family is in crisis: his uncle got into an altercation with a local crime boss, and in reprisal, his cousin has been murdered. The shooters, it seems, originally intended to kill Nasri's younger brother, Omar (Shahir Kabaha), in lieu of the cousin. Abu Elias (Youssef Sahwani), a restaurateur and respected member of the community, steps in to negotiate. Omar agrees to make a cash payment to the gangsters to prevent further violence, but since he doesn't have the money, he raises it by dealing drugs. Abu has a daughter, Hadir (Ranin Karim), who works at his restaurant; she's fallen in love with Omar, but since she's Christian and he's Muslim, they can't acknowledge their feelings in public. Also working at the restaurant is Malek (Ibrahim Frege), a 16-year-old illegal immigrant who is looking for any kind of job to help pay for his mother's medical treatments. And elsewhere, Dando (Eran Naim) is a policeman drawn into the chaotic life of Binj (Scandar Copti), a suspected drug dealer who has been arrested for attacking a Jewish neighbor; Dando is also preoccupied with the fate of his brother, who has suddenly gone missing. Ajami won a special distinction award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Ajami
New Review For Movie Ajami
This is vividly challenging, utterly inclusive and heartfelt cinema. It's not only gripping to watch, but it'll open your eyes to the intractable human conundrums behind the blood-stained headlines.Trevor Johnston-Time Out
The performances are searingly intense, all delivered by non-professionals cast to type and extemporizing within the parameters of the script. They take the play out of acting, and the effect is unvarnished realism.
Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
Any given half-hour of the film has dramatic impact; at two hours, it's a power punch to the gut.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
The fact that these two Israelis from opposite camps worked together to make this movie is as important as the movie itself.
Jonathan F. Richards-Film.com
A compelling drama about prejudice and folly.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
It's a film that rewards close attention, involving disparate characters whose lives intersect over the course of several chapters.
Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
Una contundente ópera prima, narrada en forma fragmentaria a la manera de Amores Perros o Crash, que retrata con brutal honestidad la vida en un conflictivo vecindario de Jaffa. Estupendo elenco de actores no profesionales.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
Gripping modern-day drama about crime and tensions among the Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
... acutely insightful about the social divisions within Israel, but it examines them without scolding or sentimentality.
Sean Axmaker-Seanax.com
A confident contemporary crime thriller that, yes, may rely on perhaps a few too many plot coincidences to hang together, but otherwise offers a bracing insight into a troubled situation without hectoring us with insipid platitudes.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
Stories of violence, revenge and corruption smartly told by next-gen foreign filmmakers
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
The actors, every one of them new to their craft, make the everydayness of the picture indelible and real.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
The pattern of connections and coincidences is a little overschematic, but the movie has energy, especially in the grippingly real shooting scene at the beginning.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
A rare film that will force you to confront your own prejudices.
Matt Bochenski-Little White Lies
Ajami has an appealingly rough-edged, authentic feel to it, thanks to some strong location work and the fact that the cast is drawn largely from non-professionals and real life locals.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
By showing how people fail to live together - in a film you could call Israel's City of God, with its sectarian-feuding story lent power and immediacy by improvisation and non-professional casting - Ajami shows how they might or should live together.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Ajami may be set in Israel, but at times it plays more like an American gangster drama. The film does address the ethnic and social tensions that run through the country, but it does so in a nuanced and refreshingly clear-eyed way.
Dan Lybarger-eFilmCritic.com
The movie is insightful in revealing how messy life can be with enemies living in close proximity to one another. The press notes point out the...
Keith Cohen-Entertainment Spectrum
While Quentin Tarantino used the narrative device to give his film a caffeinated jolt of hipster cool, co-directors Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani use it brilliantly to show the chaotic web of violence that traps Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
A deceptive movie, one that introduces its characters in the heat of violence, allows us to make conclusions based on what we see, then shatters our assumptions in the telling of how that moment came about.
Jim Slotek-Jam! Movies
Ajami is a powerful crime drama in which all are heroes and all are villains.
Emily S. Mendel-culturevulture.net
Contrivances bring this bunch together, and the plotting gets a little too complicated and convoluted. Luckily, these are characters that feel real, whose problems are relatable.
Jeff Vice-Deseret News, Salt Lake City

Movie Overview For Ajami
Ajami is an area of Tel Aviv where Arabs, Palestinians, Jews and Christians try to live together in an atmosphere that is -to say the least - electric. Omar, an Israeli Arab, struggles to save his family from elimination by a gang of extortionists. He also courts a beautiful Christian girl, Hadir, but marrying her is far from obvious. Malek, an illegal Palestinian worker, tries to collect enough money to pay for his mother's operation. Dando, an Israeli cop, does his utmost to trace his missing brother who may have been killed by Palestinians. Binj, Malek and Omar's Arab friend, suffers from being rejected by other members of his community for mixing with an Israeli girl. All of them will meet violence, most of the time ... with violence.TagLine Ajami
