Audience Member This confusing collection of sometimes surreal vignettes appears to be an autobiographical reflection by its Israeli director, mixed with recreations of a battle between Romans and Jews and poetry read by Jean Moreau. There are a few interesting moments, like when an Israeli and a Palestinian carry on a "conversation" in which each delivers a separate monologue, but mostly, it's people you can't place reading letters from relatives you don't know. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Saw this one at TIFF 2009. It's as if the director had notes for a script and decided to film the notes. I never give a half star review because I think one star sums up how horrible a film can be. Not this one. This is hands down the worst movie I've ever seen. I will never give a half star review again for as long as I live because I don't think anybody could make a movie that's worst then this one. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I have seen many films. Some great. Many terrible. But until I watched Carmel I could not claim I had a clear cut "worst movie I've ever seen". However, now I have such a barometer, a lower end of the range, and for that I must thank Amos Giati. This is the worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space, worse than Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, worse than Ultraviolet. It's the sort of film that makes me want to go through my list of reviews and give everything an additional half star, because I now know what a truly awful film is, and no other movie can really approach the lack of quality, the sheer unwatchability of this one. I went the the North American premiere of this (lucky me), and (after dozing off for a couple of minutes in the middle of it) was amused by the steady stream of people leaving in the middle of the film. One couple accidentally almost went through the emergency exit, which would have triggered the fire alarm. If only they had. No, this movie was pure art house trash. So Carmel, I am actually happy I've seen you, because you are the Worst Film Ever. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
