Winner of four Israeli Academy Awards, Legend of Destruction is a cinematic marvel composed entirely of 1,500 vivid and haunting original paintings, brought to life by the voices of Hollywood stars Oscar Isaac, Evangeline Lilly, Elliott Gould, and Billy Zane. Released in Israel to critical acclaim, the film's reflection of social and political divides in 21st-century Jerusalem feels especially urgent in the wake of the October 7 tragedy. Building upon his prior work on Ushpizin, Gidi Dar’s mesmerizing animated film transports viewers to the days leading up to the Jewish revolt against Rome and the destruction of the Second Temple. Through its exploration of religious zeal and its consequences, Legend of Destruction resonates powerfully with contemporary issues, underscoring the enduring impact of this pivotal moment in Jewish and world history.
