Claudio C 3d Overrated Film about Life in a Kibbutz (12,120 – 10 Dec 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In 1974, the twelve-year-old Dvir lives with his fragile and sensitive mother Miri and his older brother Eyal in a Kibbutz. Miri is a widow, who was internalized when her husband died in a mysterious circumstance. Presently she is in love with the Swiss Stephan, but she is not strong enough to move to Switzerland. When Stephan visits the Kibbutz to see Miri and meet her sons, there is an incident that will affect Miri’s life, and Dvir tries to help his mother. "Adama Meshuga'at", a.k.a. "Sweet Mud" (2006), is an overrated film about life in a Kibbutz. The acting is top-notch, but the story is messy for those that do not know the Israeli traditions. It is difficult to understand whether the intention of the writer is to show sordid people in a Kibbutz, or their way of life. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Exuberante Deserto" ("Exuberant Desert") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more 05/22/2011 Siempre es grato ver lo que hacen en otros países. Conocer su percepción del mundo. Esta cinta, al menos para mí, es tan rica en su construcción, adaptada en la tradición de estos Kipputz que personalmente no conocía y que parece ser como un experimento de sociedad utópica (comunista...el comunismo no existe) y lo que puede llegar a provocar. Además, los personajes fueron exquisitamente bien dibujados y me parece grandioso el trabajo que Dror Shaul hizo con Tomer y su personaje...tan lleno de matices, tan enternecedor, tan lleno de luz en un mundo nublado. Una fotografía delicada, viva, hermosa y una historia que te parte en dos...cuando todos deciden callar el loco es el que habla y tiene la razón aunque para los demás sea locura...... Gran cinta.

What a sad story and sad that people were there. See more 09/02/2009 A heartbreaking coming of age tale, where a boy trying to secretly orchestrate his mentally ill mother's love life fails to avert tragedy. See more 08/21/2009 This movie is disturbing a few levels, but now I understand what a kubbutz is which i didnt before. i did not like this movie at all besides that. gross, horrible and deoressing thats all i have to say but id warn you not to watch it or youll be scar-ed i still have flash backs and it creeps me out. :P See more 02/20/2009 ok, the film starts with the boy watching the kibbutz janitor getting a blow job from a cow... then the scene in which the guy kills the boy's dog and puts his body in the fridge... the scene in wich the boy sees his mom having an orgy with a bunch of guys...his mom was very disturbing, it's painful to to watch this boy try to make his mom get back to normal... so overall this is a very disturbing movie....i guess i'll never be the same after watching this movie, my innocence is gone...
