Eyes Wide Open is a sober, reserved look at a passionate gay love affair in an ultra-orthodox area of Jerusalem. The men involved are Aaron, a kosher butcher with four young children (Zohar Strauss from Lebanon) and Ezri (Ran Danker), a handsome, young Talmudic student. The movie treats this tragic affair and the intemperate, unfeeling reaction to it in the local community with tact and sympathy. It's rather like the grandly romantic Brokeback Mountain scaled down to London's Stamford Hill.
