A visual archival montage of the late director and actress Ronit Elkabetz told through the Radical collection of her extraordinary wardrobe. “Je t’aime, Ronit Elkabetz” is a cinematic essay film about one of the greatest Israeli Filmmakers of all time. It reflects on the importance of a garment chosen to be worn by an individual but in particular, a woman. It is about the political essence of the garment and its ability to form a reality and transform it. One single garment can tell a collective story of those subjugated, oppressed and repressed in an unconventional, groundbreaking and sophisticated way. This is a story about the power of cinema, of clothes and of one unforgettable woman standing for and embodying the deepest human desire for freedom and liberty. Part of Ronit Elkabetz A”H tribute.
