An Immigration and Romantic Loving Film

My parents came to Israel at the 70's, not like the couple in the movie, but I still remember that I was laughing and teasing the dubbing teams for years. I grew up and still can't figure the need of grown people to watch movies with dubbing, but It is a European "Tradition" for many years.This film is using this Title as a Sub-title to emphasis the struggle of a couple of midlife couple which immigrates to Israel at beginning of the 90's.Victor and Raya are former dubbing duo, from Russia, which arrives at the beginning of the Gulf War with no specific Education except the ability to Dub Movies to Russian.The main plot deals with the struggle of the couple with languish and finding Jobs, but inside this plot we can understand their love to the classic Cinema and Felini's Movies especially.Both are having difficulties to detach themselves from their "old" culture, with and all that implies from this fact.We've got a side story that goes to a sleazy area but ends with some of the best and emotional scenes of this film.Yavgeny Roman turned to be quite of a local director and shows each and every time he is in the Big league of Israeli movie directors and once again he steers his ship to safe shores.

Dubbing movies into Russian

Golden Voices (2019) was co-written and directed by Evgeny Ruman.It stars Mariya Belkina as Raya Frenkel and Vladimir Friedman as her husband, Victor Frenkel. The Frenkels had a successful career in Russia because they were very good at dubbing Hollywood films into Russian.However, when they move to Israel, there isn't that much demand for their skills. Still, they might be OK, except that they don't have the movies to work with. So, they end up filming the films which, of course, is illegal. The plot is the story of how they survive in a country in which their skills are not needed.The acting and direction are excellent. The movie appeared to be low-budget, and was a little rough around the edges. Still, I enjoyed it and recommend it. Golden Voices has a tepid IMDb rating of 7.1. I thought it was better than that, and rated it 8. We saw this film virtually as part of the outstanding Rochester Jewish Film Festival.
