Director Fox Bursts Bubble

Director Eytan Fox (Yossi and Jagger) is no stranger to controversy, but he may not have been prepared for the international anger over his new film, The Bubble. (info/trailer)

The film recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, but it's already angering audiences worldwide.

For one thing, it's a love story between an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian refugee. And on top of that, they're both gay.

But while people on both sides of the ongoing Middle East conflict may be griping about the movie - often without having bothered to see it first - gay critics have acclaimed the sexy love story, calling it both touching and timely.

American audiences will have their own opportunity to see for themselves when the movie opens in the U.S. next year.
