John Bleasdale Guest Contributor Talking to Variety at the Taormina Film Festival, celebrated Israeli director Amos Gitai spoke about his next feature film following his Berlinale entry “Shikun,” which has the title “Why War?” Gitai explained: “Why people make war is the subject of my next film.
It’s the dialogue between Einstein and Freud in 1931. Albert Einstein was asked by the League of Nations to choose one intellectual to put one question to.
And he chose Sigmund Freud. And he asked him a question of two words, which is: ‘Why war?’ There’s an exchange of letters between the two with Einstein putting his interpretation on Freud’s answer and that’s the basis of my next project.” According to a post on the website of Elefant Films, the script for “Why War?” was written by Marie-Josée Sanselme, and the film is produced by Alex Iordachescu.
The cast includes Irène Jacob, Mathieu Amalric, Bahira Ablassi, Keren Mor, Yael Abecassis, Pini Mittelman, Menache Noy, Minas Qarawany and Micha Lescot.
