About Man On The Edge
An elderly, delusional man sits in an empty shack. There, he recalls his lost love as a woman is thrown into the room before she is brutally assaulted and raped. The older man is pinned against the wall at knifepoint and is unable to help the woman. All he can do is watch the harrowing scene as it unfolds.
Directed by Nissim Dayan, Man On The Edge leans on a strong ensemble — Shlomo Bassan, Yitzhak Aloni, Yossi Yablonka — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1971.
