Aroview: Balancing hopeful romanticism with political realism, this fatalistic drama brings together an Israeli and Palestinian in Paris during the frenzy of the 2006 World Cup finals. Despite plenty of button-pushing and star-crossed cliches, the film’s spirited attitude and spot-on performances win through.
