החיים על פי אגפא (1992)

The film takes place in Tel Aviv, much of it in a fictitious local pub called Barbie, a satirical nickname for a famous mental health institution in Israel. The pub's name hints at the characters and the events which occur in the pub and which befall its owner (Daliah), the employees and customers. The plot unfolds with a streak of violence which takes a surprising turn.

Life According to Agfa is a 1993 Israeli psychological-social drama film written and directed by Assi Dayan and produced by Rafi Bukai and Yoram Kislev. Starring Gila Almagor, Shmil Ben Ari, Irit Frank, Shuli Rand, Sharon Alexander and Avital Dicker, the film revolves around one night in a small Tel Aviv pub whose employees and patrons represent a microcosm of Israeli society – men and women, Jews and Arabs, Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews, kibbutzniks and city-dwellers.

Production and Awards

Filming for the movie began in March 1992, with a grant of $300,000 from the Israeli Film Fund and a grant from the Israel Broadcasting Authority. Filming was completed in June 1992, and the film was released in theaters in September.

Life According to Agfa is considered one of the most important and successful films of director Shmuel (Mooli) Dayan. At a time when cinema attendance was declining due to the influence of television, the film enjoyed significant commercial success, selling approximately 350,000 tickets in Israel.

The film was submitted as Israel’s candidate for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and later for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, but it was not selected as one of the five final nominees. This occurred despite promotional assistance from Arnon Milchan in Hollywood.
