Life Remote Control
As light and tasty as its title suggests, the latest from Eytan Foxs (Yossi & Jagger; Walk on Water) is a charming comedy which takes a Eurovision-style song contest as a jumping-off point for a sweet and unabashedly nostalgic evocation of a time when, as one character puts it, "you borrowed a cup of sugar from your neighbor and stayed for coffee." _x000B__x000B_In contemporary Tel Aviv, six diverse friends gay, straight, successful, not so successful gather to watch the Universong competition.

They are as surprised as anyone when it is chosen as Israels entry for next years competition. (Source: psfilmfest.org)
