In 2002, Etoyan Fox made waves in gay movie circles with Yossi & Jagger, about the romance between two soldiers who are stationed at an Israeli outpost on the Lebanese border. It’s a bit of a modern gay classic, and now 10 years on Fox has made a follow-up, Yossi.
As the title suggests, the film picks up the story of one of the lead characters from the earlier movie, Yossi (Ohad Knoller), who’s now a Tel Aviv doctor and still firmly in the closet. He has little social life, but an unexpected encounter sends Yossi on a road trip across southern Israel, where a chance meeting with a group of young soldiers reawakens something inside him. The film is currently playing at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival, and to coincide with that the first clip has emerged, which you can see above.
