This Is Sodom

About The Film

The biggest box office hit in Israel in 25 years, THIS IS SODOM is a raucous and bawdy biblical comedy in the best tradition of Monty Python and Mel Brooks. As God’s wrath draws closer, Abraham, Lot, the Sodomites and their rulers, and even the avenging angels are seduced by the decadent delights of the most famous Sin City in history. Skewering everything from religious figures, reality TV, game shows, musicals and vapid celebrities to contemporary Israeli culture, the cast of the comedy troupe Eretz Nehederet (the Israeli Saturday Night Live) leaves no sacred cows unslaughtered. A runaway hit when it debuted (its opening weekend attendance more than tripled that of Avatar) and breaking all Israeli box office records, THIS IS SODOM also received five surprise Israeli Academy Award nominations, including wins for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.
