A Tale of Love and Darkness, which opens in theaters this month, is the first film Natalie Portman has directed. \u201cI found myself at the beginning not necessarily being comfortable,\u201d she says. \u201cI prefaced everything with an apology. And then you realize, you know what you want. I totally know what I want. It\u2019s just a matter of knowing how to say it.\u201d As an actress she has always liked to play strong, intellectual women. As a director she has made a strong and intelligent film.<\/span><\/p>\n

That film, in which she stars, is entirely in Hebrew, and is based on the memoir by the Israeli master Amos Oz. The story begins in the late 1940s, against a backdrop of the birth of the Jewish state and the rebirth of the Hebrew language. \u201cThe language was essentially frozen for years, because it wasn\u2019t a spoken language: it was a religious language,\u201d says Portman. \u201cFor centuries it was kind of trapped in amber.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1948, the streets of Jerusalem teemed with Holocaust survivors; everyone had a story; no one was encouraged to tell it. Part of the problem was that they needed to develop the language in which to capture their emotions. \u201cIn Hebrew there\u2019s not really a word for \u2018subtle,\u2019 but like 10 words for \u2018to annoy,\u2019 \u201d says Portman, who, born in Jerusalem, studied Hebrew as a child.<\/span><\/p>\n

About discovering 11-year-old Amir Tessler, who plays the young Amos Oz, she says, \u201cWe were so lucky to find him. He is so intelligent, and young enough to have that innocence. It was always his first take that I ended up using.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
