Interesting facts

Wonderland, also known as The Wonders, is an Israeli film directed by Avi Nesher from 2013. It is a comic thriller and tribute to the genre of film noir.

Production

Avi Nesher met with Shanan Street, the lead singer of Hadag Nahash, to include his songs in the soundtrack of a film he planned to release. During their acquaintance, the Jerusalem-based Street showed Nesher unique characters and places in Jerusalem, and in this context, Nesher came up with the idea of writing a joint script centered around Jerusalem and the characters surrounding it.

The character of "Arnav" is based somewhat on Street's own life, and according to him, the bar he works at and the characters around him are similar to Street's past works. Despite this, they decided that he would not be a musical artist, but a painter and graffiti artist.
