The Policeman - This is a heartwarming comedy from Israeli director Ephraim Kishon. Shaike Ophir plays Azulai, a character who is a bit too nice to be a proper policeman. While his friends have all gone onto the higher ranks of the force, Azulai has always been stuck where he is. In fact, he's only there due to his 'friends in high places' pity.
This is mainly a comedy due to Azulai's antics but it's not all laughs.
The movie won a Golden Globe as Best Foreign Language Film.
