The death of actor and director Yehuda Barkan of Corona at the age of 75 is causing great sorrow in the cultural industry.

"I lost a dear friend," actress Nitza Shaul praised him in a conversation with Walla!

culture.

Shaul also starred with Barkan in the films "Katz and Kerso" and "Celebration in Snooker" which were released in the 1970s and also in his latest film, "Love in Shlakes", which was released in April 2019 and was the first non-Haredi film in many years in which Barkan played.

"We've known each other for many years. In 'Katz and Kerso' I was still a girl, and I didn't have many scenes with him. When we met it was always fun. In 'Snooker Celebration' it was a real celebration. He played the twins with such talent. It was fun to play with him, he Was a great naughty, full of inventions, with a special humor to him.He knew how to regulate his humor according to needs.I remember the special relationship we all had there, also with Zeev Revach and Boaz Davidson the director, was there on the one hand professionalism and perfectionism and on the other creative freedom. 'Love in the Shleeks' These things stood out even more. He was beautiful in his youth, heartbreaking. And suddenly, when it's not a factor anymore, in the movie 'Love in the Shiles' other things were discovered in Judea - so much magic and power. The film succeeds and moves from festival to festival, I had a zoom of questions and answers with the Toronto Film Festival, which included this film, and I asked them to pray for Judah. ​​"

"In this film we formed a deep friendship. We went through hours of soul-searching. I knew the new Judah, with different insights, a different approach to life and such a respectful, open and enlightened person, who does not force his mind. Occasionally I was embarrassed and did not know how to deal with him. "He said everything should be as it was, everything was open. And what a wonderful professional and actor he was. Just a man with a rainbow of shades of insight, expressiveness and wisdom. Wisdom has not overshadowed his sensitivity and humanity."

"I managed to be in a warm relationship with him after the movie, and he even sent me a photo two or three months ago a birthday greeting that I would keep and keep. I was constantly in touch with the family, there were hopes, ups and downs, I thought in two or three weeks he would come out and tell everyone how it was. "I do not believe it will happen. It is a great loss."

Director Yigal Shilon, who made thrillers with Barkan in which he starred in the 1980s, mourned him: "One of the greatest film actors we had here left us. Yehuda was an amazing actor who did a lot of roles, both comedic and dramatic. I worked with him a lot together, we studied together The profession, in fact, he was a successful actor and I was behind the scenes, and we complemented each other. We found a common language, and kept with it about seven fertile years.

"Precisely his less senior roles were his biggest roles, including in the film 'Queen of the Road', 'Two Knocks for B. and Lupo, in which he played a legendary role.

Judah was in his twenties and played an amazingly old man.

I learned a lot from him, and I applied it.

I would always say that "Yehuda Barkan would say" so and so.

I have a very warm corner in my heart for his knowledge.

Our relationships didn’t really last, over time we were less in touch.

He repented but it was not the case of Uri Zohar who denied it to him.

"" It is a great pity that one has to come to such a day to remember all the amazing things the man did.

Where have we been all this time to remember him?

And the most annoying thing is that this unexpected corona came and devoured all the cards. "

"Precisely the least senior positions were his biggest roles."

Gila Almagor, who wrote the film "Queen of the Road" directed by Menachem Golan, and starred in it alongside Barkan, also paid tribute to him in a conversation with Walla!

Culture: "I made one film with Yehuda, 'Queen of the Road'. It was a charming, warm and pleasant name, an Israeli and full of charm. It is a very difficult film and there were intimate scenes, and he was very gentlemanly and considerate, everything that was difficult he resolved with humor "This meeting was very good, professional and warm. It was clear that Menachem Golan was going to make the film" Lupo "with him.

"When I found out today about Yehuda's death, I got a bomb in my stomach," Almagor adds.

"It's such a blow that you lose someone you know. In one week both Ilana Rubina and Yehuda Barkan. Thank God Shlomi Shabbat returned home safe. The only message that needs to be said - friends, watch out for your souls! Watch out, this is a deadly epidemic. Older people, do not leave home. "And in general, those who do not have to, do not go out and mix with people. And go with a mask and keep their distance. And the rest is in the hands of God."

Michal Yanai, who played with Barkan in the movie "Kiss in the MPC", said: "I met Yehuda 30 years ago, when I was 18, in an audition he did for me 'Kiss in the MPC'. An enthusiastic girl with some experience in theater and television but never participated in the movie Cinema.In retrospect, working alongside him was the best gift I could ask for.My first film with who was not only the partner and actor with the most experience you could ask for to learn from him, but also a person who is all humility and a great desire to share and teach.Actor, director, producer or A screenwriter has a unique set of talents, and Yehuda had them all. And it was fascinating to see how when there is a director on the set he will not disturb him, even if he knows how to direct this scene better than he. He knew how to give everyone their respect. Thank you, Yehuda, for the contribution "Your madness for the film industry, for being generous and attentive as an actor and as a person, thank you for laughing so much, for cheering, and for giving me the first opportunity to be on the big screen. Thank you for being who you were for me and for everyone who watched you."

Yanai told Walla!

Culture on a memorable piece of advice given to her by Barkan.

"I owe Yehuda a lot of thanks for the tips he gave me then. Here is one of them, perhaps the most worthwhile I got. We shot in the film then, and because each take was an expensive story, even though I had a take not something, the director refused to shoot the scene again. Yehuda took me aside And quietly explained to me that if the actor had a bad take but the director or producer thinks it was okay, there is no chance of taking another take. 'So if you feel you have a bad take, just ruin it in the middle ... cough, forget text or any other creative idea "It's an opportunity for you to tell me that I took advantage of this tip several times, and sorry for all the directors for whom I ruined my life."
