The co-parenting process ("It's an interesting challenge to create a non-standard family") the new film, "Like there's no tomorrow" ("The role was written for me") and the media-political agenda ("I don't want people who speak in a homophobic way to run the country") An open conversation Lev with actress Moran Rosenblatt
When was the last time you flew?
I recently returned from Romania to my apartment in Tel Aviv.
We are shooting a series there for Hulu and Disney that takes place during World War II.
They set up a set there that simulates a street that has been resurrected from the war days and it is horrifying and beautiful at the same time.
The series is a development of the book "we were the lucky ones", a bestseller based on a true story.
The filming also takes place in Bucharest and Poland and we will reach more places throughout Europe.
So far only one episode has been shot.
The scale is really crazy.
It's great fun for me to work with talented people at high levels."
How do you feel when you get a role?
"When there's bingo, it's joy mixed with anxiety. Each role requires me to dive into a fog again, and it slowly begins to take shape. When I get a positive answer - first of all there is joy, and only then do I start to worry. Later I start to work and feel the thing happen, while For the filming, only on the first days of filming do you feel it happening.
"In this profession, we constantly get negative answers, there are many auditions with which nothing happens, so I constantly try to remind myself that I am a good actress. I always see where I still have to develop, but I no longer think that I am not good at my job."
When was the last time you learned a new language?
"I learned English, Arabic and Spanish for work. For Amazon Prime's 'Yossi, the spy eaten by regret', for which I was photographed this year, I phonetically learned the text in Spanish. I am currently acting in English.
"The first role I did in the cinema was in Arabic. I played a young Palestinian girl while her older character was played by Natalie Atiyah. I learned Arabic for this film, and then came 'Fauda', which opened doors for my international career. From there I went on to 'RUN&HIT' (a series created by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff for Netflix - "(7)".
When was the last time you got really excited?
"I saw the movie 'Like There's No Tomorrow' four times. I was most excited at its screening at the Gay Film Festival, in a relatively large hall that was packed to the brim. At this screening, you could feel the energy of the audience which had a great impact and I felt that we had done something special and not obvious.
"In the last decade, it's terribly fashionable to make sophisticated, cynical and critical cinema, but 'As if there's no tomorrow' is 100 percent emotional. I'm easier with cynicism than with emotion, and it was compressed, intense and emotionally stimulating. I noticed that at the screening people had an emotional experience with the characters, Something reminiscent of waking up from a dream following which you have feelings for the characters.
"This is the second time I am working with Nitzan Giladi. The first time was in the movie 'Paper Girl', and here it is a completely different role. In 'Paper Girl' I played a young woman who suffers from mental disabilities, and in the current film there are destructive, addicted, difficult characters.
"Nitzan wrote the role for me, something that also happens abroad: actors are cast not based on their typecast, but thanks to familiarity.
Nitzan stretched my limits and knew what he could get from me.
It was not easy during the filming, because we are friends we allow ourselves to disagree and get into professional fights where we tell each other everything, and the tones also rose.
It's stressful, but it's a good thing.
It's scary and it's good when you're scared.
Even when there is resistance it is good.
The challenge is greater and the result is more significant."
What was it like to work with Israel Olgabo?
"This is his first film role, and when I saw him working I had a memory, joy and inspiration to return to what I was. I remembered how I worked at the beginning. He moved to the location during the filming. Israel did everything to connect with the character. We had a very strong connection, although at first I was afraid when Nitzan took Someone who hasn't played yet - it's not an easy role in one location and the plot is not rich but rather concentrates on the inner consciousness. And Israel stood up to it with great success. I hear strong reactions about his acting. Those who underestimated a reality star now bow their heads. They fly over him, and rightly so. Nitzan no He took him due to his participation in 'Big Brother' and 'Survival', but because it was clear to him that he was the character."
When was the last time you spoke to your mother?
"Right now. We do a lot of 'fiestas', have lunch and chat, only on video. We are very close. It started after my father passed away, continued especially with Corona, and even today, especially when I'm abroad.
My mother, Shula, lives in Tel Aviv. She designs jewelry and sells it in Nachalat Binyamin. I was three years old when my parents separated. My father, Gilad, died of a sudden cardiac arrest four years ago, and I have short conversations with him in my imagination. If he were alive today, he would have celebrated 70".
when was the last time you spent
"I go out almost every day. In Romania we went out every night to a restaurant, and yesterday I also went out with Tamar to 'Bar 51', which is my favorite restaurant. Tamar (Liberzon; Shaz) has been my partner for over a year, she works in the food and wine field and also Currently producing a film.
We met at a friend's party.
I noticed that she was really stunning and then I realized that she was also into women, but I wasn't that energetic on a day, so I told my mutual friend to arrange another meeting for us and it faded away, until we met again at some party, where I started with her and from there it flowed completely."
Are you in touch with your ex today, Joy Rieger?
"Yes. We were a couple of actresses, which is a good recipe for drama. At a distance of time, you can manage a relationship with all the challenges, but it was a challenge that I only understood in retrospect.
"I am currently in the process of co-parenting, and Tamar knows and supports me. It is an interesting challenge to create a family that is not standard. My co-parenting partner and I constantly wonder how it will be, but I have already chosen. They are both very good people and I feel that it will be difficult mistake.
"Motherhood is something that should be included in the schedule.
I used to think it didn't make sense to give up dream roles for parenthood;
It is possible to postpone, but until when?
I understood that this was something that was included in the schedule and as soon as this understanding came it made me happy, it's not a concession."
When was the last time you thought about the political situation in Israel?
"There are enough people here, from all sides of the political spectrum, who don't want to go backwards, and I hope that won't happen. I don't see blackness, but maybe it's a repression mechanism.
"I don't want to talk about politics from my safe place, where my partner and I continue to live happily in Tel Aviv, disconnected, but for those who are not in my situation, which is roughly every young person who does not yet know how to accept who they are. These are many young people who go To be mentally wounded, because when the headlines in the press are full of reports of homophobic statements, they will also reach the schools. All the soft souls who are afraid should be told: you are fine. What you feel in your body is natural and it is not a crime and it is not a shame, but they are a shame."
When was the last time you went to protest?
"I will go out to demonstrate when something happens. I definitely intend to march in the pride parade in Jerusalem. This is important to me. Sometimes, when you are fed mainly by the media, there is already a mechanism that incites you, so I try not to get angry before something happens. What is more, I would not want people who speak in a homophobic manner will run the country."
When was the last time you made an external change?
"I'd love to do something that would remove the bags under my eyes. Even if it's for a role for which I obviously need to lose weight, no one will tell me that. Appearance is absolutely important to me. I can be very frustrated by it, and it can lower and lift my mood The wind. I think today I'm less likely to let a few kilos take me away from who I am, but it tickles, I have to fight it. I hope that I won't gain much weight during pregnancy."
