“#’The Attache’ revisits 2015 Paris terrorist attacks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe Attache\u201d opens against the backdrop of the 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris \u2014 but that\u2019s only the tip of this dramatic iceberg.<\/p>\n

The Israeli-French series<\/a>, which unfolds in both Hebrew and French (with English subtitles), has landed on Acorn TV and is produced by Abot Hameiri, the company behind Netflix favorite \u201cShtisel.\u201d <\/p>\n

Creator and star Elie Ben-David based \u201cThe Attache\u201d on his own experience of moving with his wife from Israel to Paris (for her job) in November 2015 \u2014 just as three separate Islamic terrorist attacks killed 130 people, including 90 victims at the Bataclan theatre.<\/p>\n

That feeling of dread hangs over the narrative, but \u201cThe Attache\u201d is more a sum of its parts than a straight-ahead crime drama or thriller. As the 10-episode series opens, Avshalom (Ben-David), the drummer for a successful Israeli rock band, agrees to relocate with his wife, Annabelle (Heloise Godet) and their 7-year-old son, Uri, to Paris when Annabelle accepts a yearlong internship at the city\u2019s Israeli Embassy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a return home for Annabelle, born and raised in France and looking forward to reconnecting with her parents and friends. It\u2019s a (somewhat reluctant) move for Avshalom and Uri, who don\u2019t speak French \u2014 and, for Avshalom, it comes at an inopportune time as his band is putting the finishing touches on their new album.<\/p>\n

If Avshalom and Annabelle thought that they were escaping the ever-present fear of hostilities in Israel, they\u2019re brought crashing down to reality once the terrorist attacks are carried out and Paris goes on high alert while police search for the perpetrators. Avshalom reacts to the fear by insisting his family, especially Uri \u2014 who\u2019s due to start preschool \u2014 stay holed up in their apartment, since the city\u2019s atmosphere is rife with tension, heightened xenophobia and anti-Semitism. (Avshalom has a French lesson in a nearby cafe and is convinced he\u2019s being followed by an Arab man in a hoodie.) Annabelle\u2019s job requires her to spend her working day at the embassy and to participate in social<\/a> functions, much to Avshalom\u2019s chagrin and worry. They\u2019re also trying to have another baby, adding one more layer of stress to their lives.<\/p>\n

As the narrative progresses, fissures begin to show in the couple\u2019s marriage as they deal with adjusting to their new lives, problems at work (or lack thereof, in Avshalom\u2019s case) and the aftershocks of the terrorist attacks. Resentments bubble to the surface and \u201cblame\u201d is assigned in equal measure; both Avshalom and Annabelle feel they\u2019ve sacrificed large chunks of their hopes and dreams for the greater good of the other.<\/p>\n

\"Annabelle

There\u2019s much more, of course, and \u201cThe Attache\u201d moves along at a comfortable pace (it helps that each episode is no longer than 30 minutes). While it doesn\u2019t quite pack an emotional gut-punch of, say, fellow Israeli series \u201cFauda,\u201d it does offer interesting, multi-dimensional protagonists caught up in a situation that will test their mettle \u2014 and their love for each other.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
