Dr. Pomerantz (Hebrew: ד"ר פומרנץ) is a 2011 Israeli film directed by and starring Assi Dayan.
It premiered in 2011 at the 27th Haifa International Film Festival and was theatrically released in Israel on February 23, 2012.
[2] The film was met with mostly favorable reviews, though did very poor business at the Israeli Box office.
The film depicts Dr. Yoel Pomerantz (Asi Dayan), a clinical psychologist in the twilight of his professional and personal life, living with his son Yoav (Michael Henig), who has Asperger's syndrome and works as a parking attendant.
This gap is central to the film, both in terms of its macabre humor and its existential message, embodied by Dr. Pomerantz's explanation to his suicidal patients: "Life is a disease with 100% mortality."
