About This Movie

The Hit (1979) is a quirky blend of comedy and music that brings a unique charm to the screen. Directed by Assi Dayan, it follows Dr. Shuki Chaftziva, a ballroom dance instructor with a penchant for matchmaking. The way he navigates through obituaries to connect with widows is both humorous and oddly poignant. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing the characters to breathe and develop. Zigi Fuchsman, played by a delightful actor, adds a layer of authenticity as the mechanic caught in this unusual scheme. The film's atmosphere is infused with a lightheartedness that contrasts with its darker undertones. All in all, it’s a distinct piece, showcasing a blend of cultural nuances and engaging performances that stand out in the landscape of late '70s cinema.

Features unique matchmaking themes.Captivating performances by main cast.Interesting blend of comedy and music.
