Weddings are one of the most organic settings for storytelling in movies. They combine romance with drama, high tension and even comedy. Director Ayelet Menahemi’s “Seven Blessings” manages to whip all those things together and lots more, in a film that begins with the nuptials before chronicling seven celebratory meals with an extended group of family and friends.
For TheWrap’s 2023-24 International Screening Series, Menahemi was joined along with two of the movie’s actresses, Reymonde Amsallem and Eleanor Sela to take part in a lively conversation about the film. Amsallem and Sela, real-life cousins who here play sisters, also cowrote the screenplay, and Sela serves as one of the picture’s associate producers.
