SHOSHANA is loosely based on the life of Shoshana Borochov who became involved with a member of the British forces watching over Palestine in 1938.
One part thriller and several parts romance SHOSHANA is a solid
entertaining drama. I don’t know if it aspires
beyond that, but on a basic level it’s pretty good.
You’ll forgive the lack of wild enthusiasm for the case but
there are times the film seems to want to be more than just a romance (it gives
us a long set up of the Jewish migration into Palestine as a lead up) but the
film always swings around back to just being romantic drama. Yes, there are
political over tones and historical significance , but the film feels like a
Hollywood romance. As I said it entertains, but I kept feeling like it should
give me more.
If you are in the mood for a historical romance with just a
hint of modern day politics, give it a shot.
