Moustache

Director

Isaschar Vishnia

Year

1985

Just as he is about to go on a date, Obadiah decides to take his barber’s advice and leave his moustache on. En route from the barbershop to seeing his date, he realises that his concerns were, in fact, very much with merit; for in Israel, a moustache is the symbol of the enemy. An endearing little comedy with an absolutely addictive soundtrack, which offers a tongue-in-cheek look at the various facets and manifestations of Israeli racism.
