About This Movie

Drifting, directed by Amos Guttman, captures the essence of youthful yearning and the gritty reality of dreams colliding with everyday life. Set in Israel, we follow Robi, a young man whose aspirations of love and filmmaking feel like distant stars. The film has this raw, almost melancholic vibe, with moments that linger a bit too long, echoing Robi's stalled progress. The pacing feels reflective, allowing the audience to soak in his struggles. Performances are heartfelt, layering the narrative with genuine emotion. Guttman's direction brings a simplicity that adds depth, making the mundane feel poignant. It's not just about the pursuit of dreams; it's a meditation on the spaces in between and the fragility of hope.
