In ‘The Visitor’ the director obtains the role as a rootless individual. She is collecting information and documenting the surroundings with the attempt to capture an image of the divine and the utopian. The core of the film is in the meeting with a local guy who she doesn’t have common language with. She becomes the tourist in her country which she could call home. This alienation is present during the film through the sound that refers to old science fiction films. Themes as religion and identity are questioned. (The Visitor is filmed in Jerusalem and the Judean Desert in Israel).
