The Wonders (***1/4) [screening]

A Jerusalem bartender and sometime graffiti artist (Ori Hizkiah) gets mixed up with a burly private investigator, a cool redhead, and a kidnapped spiritual guru in this offbeat mystery. Lured by curiosity, noble intentions, and a bribe into helping spy on the imprisoned rabbi, the bartender spends most of the film trying to figure out if he’s being played by the investigator, played by the redhead, or both, and also wondering why the rabbi seems uninterested in being rescued. It’s a slightly longish tale, but keeps you guessing while delivering a satisfying conclusion.
