Synopsis:

Hunting Elephants centers on a 12-year-old Israeli boy named Jonathan, who is dealt a cruel double-blow by fate. First his father is killed in a freak accident while working at the local bank. Then, not only does the bank deny fault, they also declare they’ll repossess the boy’s home. Pushed to the brink, the boy must find money fast, and so decides to rob the bank that’s offended him. But he needs a team. Unfortunately for Jonathan, the only crew he has access to is three senior citizens.

This movie was partially filmed in my backyard and I cannot believe the amount of noise that was generated at 2:30am without any regard for the residents of the area. Both Thursday night and Sunday night, the staff paid no heed to residents' need for sleep and were loud and rambunctious. Last night, they even had the audacity to bring in trucks to remove the trailers and other heavy equipment at 2:30am - waking up my young child. I full support the arts and it is exciting to have a world-renowned actor take part in an Israeli film. However, the film crew could have at least made an attempt to be courteous during the filming. (Incidentally, no notice was placed in the neighborhood and we only learned of the movie being filmed in our yard when the crews showed up.) Shame on you.
