Israel on the QT, as first-time writer-directors Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani craft a violent, Tarantinoesque jigsaw narrative of life, love, and death among Jews, Muslims, and Christians. The tribute walks a tightrope over plagiarism, as both a disastrous snort of white powder and a misplaced heirloom watch with fatal consequences play key roles in the chronologically scrambled intersecting multiple narratives. But if you're gonna steal . . .Bottom line: an impressive, moving, disturbing piece of work on its own merits.
