About Himmo, King of Jerusalem
Adapted from Yoram Kaniuk's best-selling novel, this heart-rending love story unfolds during the siege of Jerusalem in 1948. A young and beautiful volunteer nurse is drawn to the enigmatic Himmo, a mortally wounded and mutilated soldier who cannot speak or move.
Directed by Amos Guttman, Himmo, King of Jerusalem leans on a strong ensemble — Icho Avital, Amiram Gabriel, Yossi Graber — 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 drama titles of 1988.
