Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem | comment |
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem (French: Gett: Le procès de Viviane Amsalem, Hebrew: גט - המשפט של ויוי�ן �מסל�‎ Get — Ha'mishpat shel Vivian Amsalem) is a 2014 Israeli-French film directed by and starring Ronit Elkabetz, with her brother Shlomi Elkabetz as co-director. The cast includes Simon Abkarian, Menashe Noy and Sasson Gabai. It is the third and final film of a series focusing on the unhappy marriage of Viviane Amsalem, the first being To Take a Wife and the second Shivanote (named after the Jewish mourning custom), and it is also the last film of Ronit, who passed away in April 2016.In Israel, Viviane Amsalem (Elkabetz) has been married to her husband, Elisha (Abkarian), for over twenty years. She goes to a rabbinical court, represented by lawyer Carmel ben-Tovim (Noy) in order to obtain a gett as they are living apart and she no longer wants to be married to him. Represented by his brother Shim'on (Gabai), Elisha refuses to give the gett to her and does everything in his power to stop her. The court of rabbis order a trial reunion for the couple which Viviane tries to comply with.After several attempts to comply with the order the marital discord is so severe that she insists on a separation and a Kafka-esque divorce trial ensues. Over the course of several years, Viviane struggles to obtain divorce while her husband does his best to slow the process. Both bring witnesses to testify about each side’s righteousness, and the situation gets more and more complicated from there. | |

Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: Rabbi Shim‘on accuses Evelyn, Émile’s sister-in-law, of arguing in favour of giving Viviane her gett because she’s jealous of her being married while she’s still single, despite being middle-aged. The next witness they bring is Rachel Amzaleg, Émile’s wife, who aggressively asserts that she’s already married. | |

Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_34f8042a | comment |
Gratuitous French/Gratuitous Foreign Language: Being that the majority of characters are Moroccan, and despite the judges asserting, ‘In this courtroom we speak Hebrew!’, they naturally pepper their speech with lots of French and Moroccan Arabic. Special mention goes to Elisha, who is portrayed by a French actor, whose dialogue is overwhelmingly French, using Hebrew almost entirely for short phrases; he does so even after being told that he should be speaking Hebrew. | |

Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: Essentially that is what Vivianne’s and Elisha’s marriage is. They’re both described as good, honest people by those who know them, and they raised fine children, but their marriage has been awful all along. Naturally, Shim‘on tries to focus on the saccharine elements, or at least portray Vivianne as the one responsible for making it anything else, while Carmel tries to scratch that surface. | |

Author Tract | |
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
The values the rabbinical court enshrines (especially in terms of rampant misogyny and religious bias) are hardly ones the common Israeli Jew subscribes to, but most Israeli Jews still get married and divorced through them because it’s too expensive to get a civil marriage abroad (Israel does not allow civil marriages for anyone who’s not registered as having no religion) and getting divorced in a secular court is 9 times more expensive, or out of a sense of identity. The film deliberately highlights this dissonance as an Author Tract. | |

If I Can't Have You…: At the very end of the film, when Viviane and Elisha speak directly, Elisha reveals that he still loves her and this is why he won’t give her the gett. That’s why he stopped the process in the middle when he was told to say, ‘And thou art hereby permitted to any man.’ | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: Émile, Vivianne’s brother, goes on at length to praise Elisha as a good, honest man, saying that ‘a woman needs to be given limits’ but Elisha is too nice to do so. Carmel then asks him to reassure that both Elisha and Vivianne are fine people, before asking the obvious: whether they had a happy marriage. Émile’s confidence vanishes at once, and he sheepishly answers that it wasn’t. Carmel asks Donna Abuksis, who praised both her own husband, who reins her in significantly, and Elisha, who gives Viviane a lot of personal freedom, which of the two is the ideal husband. He continues to cross her about her married life to break her out of Simon’s control over her testimony until she breaks into tears. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Viviane delivers a scathing one against the rabbinical courts when she runs out of patience, comparing them unfavourably to the US court system, telling the judges that eventually the public will get sick of them and they’ll lose all authority, and outright calling them ‘shit’. It angers the judges enough to ban her from the court for a year. | |

Artistic License – Law: During her "The Reason You Suck" Speech against the rabbinical courts, Viviane claims that in the US, if a man does not show up in court for his divorce proceedings three times, he is declared divorced in absentia. While there is some truth to it, her claim is fairly oversimplified. | |

Aside from this, the general process is very different than that of modern, secular courts. Just try to count the times when the characters talk over each other when they shouldn’t be, or when an equivalent lawyer in such a court could rightfully object on the grounds of relevance, say, when the counsellor’s lineage or religious knowledge is brought into question. | |

Foreshadowing: Viviane says Elisha won’t be satisfied until he sees her a sobbing mess, if at all. While it’s not really what he’s after, he does concede only after she breaks down and cries like crazy in frustration. Viviane’s sister-in-law saying ‘shit’ in court and her general disrespect for the judges during her rant gets her kicked out of the courtroom. Same thing happens to Viviane near the ending. | |

Furthermore, some characters, being both Moroccan (a typically more conservative community) and religious, express some rather outdated views (in modern Western eyes) on married life and the control men should have over their wives. | |

Stoic Woobie: In-Universe, Elisha tries to portray himself as this, claiming that he can’t express his emotions like Vivianne can, so when their children as well as their friends and family would see her collapsing and him standing still, they would naturally take her side, which is why he ultimately started disallowing visitors and friends from coming over, as they’d always start accusing him. | |

Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_c0bfb059 | comment |
Against My Religion: One of the causes of tension between Elisha and Viviane is that the former is far more religious than the latter, not allowing her to go out on Shabbat or generally enjoy herself out of the strict confines of his faith. He won’t even buy a car for fear it would be driven on Shabbat. Carmel claims that it’s his attitude that has made Viviane hate the faith, a claim Rabbi Shim'on mocks. | |

Determinator | |
Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: The trial lasts for years, but neither Viviane nor Elisha are willing to give up. Elisha in particular has a will of iron (or, rather, is extremely obstinate) when it comes to upholding his end of a conflict, to the point he’s refused to speak to another man from his synagogue for 15 years over a petty argument about the correct prayer format or something similar, despite his attempts to apologise, something Carmel uses to demonstrate how impossible he is. Hell, even prison, which he’s sent to for his repeated contempt of court and refusal to yieldnote Jewish law allows to do this to men who refuse to give their wives a gett, even sanctioning beating them until they say ‘I’m willing’. However, this extreme measure is generally discouraged, as it makes the gett declared ‘artificial’ and thus non-legitimate., won’t make Elisha change his mind. | |
