I Shot My Love
- Director: Barak Heymann
CGiii Comment
Heymann's Paper Dolls was an interesting documentary.
This is a documentary about presenting that documentary at the Berlin Film Festival and the sexual conquests of a German chap who duly moves to Israel...yip, boring.
It's personal - and that's where it should have been kept - on a shelf, in a cupboard, away from the general public.
Apologies, but, Mr Heymann...this is not interesting - in the slightest.

The(ir) Blurb...
Seventy years after his grandfather escapes from Nazi Germany to Palestine, Israeli documentary director Tomer Heymann returns to the country of his ancestors to present his film "Paper Dolls" at the Berlin International Film Festival, and there meets a man who will change his life. This 48-hour love affair, originating in Berghain Panorama Bar, develops into a significant relationship between Tomer and Andreas Merk, a German dancer. When Andreas decides to move to Tel-Aviv, he not only has to cope with a new partner, but to manage the complex realities of life in Israel and his personal connection to it as a German citizen. Tomer's mother, descendant of German immigrants was born and lived all her life in a small Israeli village, where she raised five sons. One by one, she watches her children leave the country she and her family helped to build, and now cannot help but try to influence the life of Tomer, the one son who remains. I SHOT MY LOVE tells a personal but universal love ...
