R
onit (Rachel Weisz) works in a hip studio, photographing old men with Jesus tat-
toos in New York City when she finds out her father, a well-loved rabbi in a Jewish
Orthodox cloister of London, has died while delivering a sermon. Before she returns
home, she first drinks, ice skates and has a random hook up in a bar bathroom.
Her homecoming isn’t exactly happy. She was estranged from the beloved
rabbi. In fact, the local Hebrew-language newspaper writes in his obituary that he died
without any surviving family. Moreover, she’s surprised to see two friends from her youth
have married: Dovid (Alessandro Nivola) and Esti (Rachel McAdams). Dovid, a student
of Ronit’s father, offers her to stay at their home. Pushing further the sub-theme of “you
can never go home again,” Ronit seems to have forgotten basic Jewish manners — mainly,
don’t discuss business on the Sabbath.
The story unravels slowly as we find that during Ronit’s stay, a love is rekindled between
her and Esti.
Naturally, the love between Esti and Ronit causes tensions, allowing the role of power
to be explored during the movie. Esti is the central focus of two power dynamics: Western
liberalism personified through Ronit and faith anchored in the belief system of an Orthodox
Jewish community. Should she invest in her own individual wellbeing and leave for love?
Or stay for the sake of duty — start a family and support Dovid as he works toward his
advancement in the community?
And that’s the role of institutions. We’re all susceptible to power and its role in
disciplining us to act accordingly, whether this power comes from a hip New York City
photographer or gender roles from the Torah.
The power dynamics within the movie aren’t fictitious. Disobedience is based on a
novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman. Alderman told The Guardian that the book’s
inspiration came from her time working in the publishing industry in New York City, where
she met gay and lesbian Orthodox Jews who were told they were doing Hitler’s work if
they didn’t get married and have children.
Although the characters could have been developed further, the effect of the tensions
that emerge when having to choose between faith and the self are illustrated through the
camera shots selected by director and co-writer Sebastián Leilo. The extreme close shots
of Rachel McAdams portray her struggle of choice and his catalog of camera shots of
McAdams and Weisz’s faces alone could easily tell their love story.
But, as powerful as their performances were, Nivola’s lecture discussing freedom of
choice delivers one of the most memorable scenes, as he himself ponders friendship and
faith, accented through shaky, close up camerawork that breaks in and out of focus.
Disobedience, in the end, is a love story about the question of losing one’s faith, amplified
by power dynamics of social institutions, whether it’s in institutions of Western liberalism
that favors individualism or agreeing to see oneself within a community. (Broadway Metro)
