The Unchosen Ones (2005) Online

The Unchosen Ones is a one woman feature for Iris Bahr done as a 'behind the scenes' look at a BBC travel show 'The Street' whose current episode is being filmed in Israel. The British host character 'Fiona', begins the show talking of food and politics in the middle of the Tel Aviv marketplace; when 'Dudik' (the unseen cameraman) drifts onto 'Samantha Goldberg' - a state-sider on a singles weekend party tour to find husbands. Samantha wanders around looking for her group and talking on her cellphone to people like her 'Aunt Rivka' who lives in the Green Line and patrols her own homestead with an uzi. Dudik follows Samantha around, avoiding and running from the babbling Fiona, until Samantha tells him to go away. Fiona runs into Dudik and the travel show is restarted at a shop where Fiona tries talking to the shopkeeper, until 'Avivit ' (a friend of Dudik's), invites them up to the roof where a group of ravers are 'smoking like crazy'. Fiona sits uncomfortably while Avivit blathers on...

Iris Bahr is one of the most talented actresses working today. She proves this by playing many different characters woven through a rich plot with the background of politically charged area of Isreal. She plays pitch perfect comedy teasing the viewer into laughter and providing a respite from what is often considered a "too charged" atmosphere for comedy. Iris Bahr directed the film while amazingly weaving herself, in many different roles in a hilarious, romantic story that shows off not only her ability to act, but write as well. (She is also hot! Very hot!) I hope to see much more of her in the future and that this film makes it's way to Comedy Central or some other venue, where it belongs.
