Esau is a 2019 Russian-Israeli-British drama film directed by Pavel Lungin and starring Harvey Keitel and Shira Haas. It is based on Meir Shalev's novel of the same name.

Production

The film is an adaptation of the 1991 novel Esau by Israeli author Meir Shalev, which reinterprets the biblical story of Jacob and Esau from the Book of Genesis within a modern context. Russian filmmaker Pavel Lungin directed the film, marking his English-language directorial debut.

The film's screenplay was co-written by Lungin alongside Israeli filmmaker Evgeny Ruman, who collaborated to translate the source text into an English-language script. Lungin noted a personal connection to the source text due to hisJewish heritage. The project represented the first time one of Shalev's books has been adapted into a feature film.

The project was produced by 2-Team Productions alongside Lungin's own production banner. Production began in early April 2018, and principal photography took place on location across central Israel and southern Israel. Filming concluded in May 2018 after a one-month shooting schedule. German cinematographer Fred Kelemen served as the director of photography.

The international cast includes Harvey Keitel, Lior Ashkenazi, Shira Haas, Yulia Peresild, and Kseniya Rappoport, alongside a cameo appearance by Israeli theater actress Gila Almagor.
