A strange, pitch black piece of work, the Israeli comedic thriller Goldberg & Eisenberg is hitting the U.S. via Jinga films this June.
Something of a too close for comfort stalker story, Goldberg & Eisenberg concerns “Goldberg, a lonely computer programmer who spends his time searching online for a girlfriend. After being stood up for a date in the park Goldberg meets Eisenberg, a thug who decides to amuse himself at Goldberg’s expense. As Eisenberg begins to stalk Goldberg, his intrusions become increasingly menacing until Goldberg’s actions to get rid of him spin dangerously out of control.”
Directed by Oren Carmi, Goldberg & Eisenberg has a truly fucked up tone. The film is menacing, very funny and surprising, and boasts a fuzzy, surreal atmosphere around its everyday schlubs.
