Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid's latest film "Yes" provokes thought about artistic expression and nationalism. Premiering at Cannes in the Directors' Fortnight section, it tells the story of Israeli artists compromising their integrity to please a Russian oligarch. Living in Paris but critical of his homeland, Lapid reflects on the politically charged nature of cinema today, questioning the trends that label daring films as 'disturbing.' His candid remarks reveal an ongoing struggle between art and national identity, especially given recent turbulent events related to Israel.
