About

Synopsis

The Attack (2012) is Ziad Doueiri's drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Amin is a successful Arab surgeon who has built a life in Tel Aviv and earned a place in Israeli society. After a bombing tears through a café, he's called to the hospital to identify a body. It is his wife — and investigators say she was the one who set off the blast.

Amin refuses to accept it. He loved her, they shared years together, she could never have done this; that's what he keeps telling himself. But the doubts won't let go, and he travels from Tel Aviv to Nablus, into Palestinian territory, to piece together the hidden life of a woman he is starting to realize he never truly knew. Every answer cuts deeper than the last.

Adapted from Yasmina Khadra's novel, the film refuses to take a side in the conflict. Ali Suliman carries it on a single face — a man whose ground has been pulled out from under him. Hard, honest filmmaking with no easy verdict. Stream The Attack (2012) online on iFILM.
