'Success of 'Walk on Water' surprising in light of chilly relations between two countries'

The critically acclaimed Israeli film 'Walk on Water', the story of an Israeli Mossad agent has taken Caracas movie theaters by storm.
The movie's success was reported several days ago by popular Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional, which ran a banner headline in the culture section of the paper.
Sources at the Israeli embassy in Caracas noted that dozens of the city's residents told them they had seen the movie and that they had
enjoyed it immensely.
The same sources added that this is a highly irregular response, particularly in light of the somewhat chilly relations between the two countries. One thing is certain, Venezuela's President Hugu Chavez, who only this week was seen embracing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is not likely to enjoy hearing that an Israeli movie on the Mossad has garnered such success in his capital city.
The film by Eytan Fox and Gal Uchovsky tells the story of Eyal, a Mossad agent (played by actor Lior Ashkenazi) and a second generation Holocaust survivor whose bosses are on the hunt for Nazi war criminals. When it is discovered that one such German has a granddaughter working on a kibbutz, Eyal is dispatched to find out more.
Eyal pretends to be a tour guide for Pia (Caroline Peters) and her brother Alex (Knut Berger), while all the time maintaining a watchful eye and ear for information about their grandfather.
The film was sold for distribution throughout several countries worldwide.

Wow!!
When we have something polical, we get a thread close...but when Zohar has something political he can do what he wants...odd odd..

so in any case...
the movie is really great. I personally enjoyed watching it and have seen it probably 6 times. I acutally have it on DVD. I love it.

I think that the movie was really great. But im wondering...that movie was produced in 2003. Why only in 2007 is the movie being a hit?!?!
Any new Eytan Fox films which doesnt have anything to do with homosexuality?
