In Savi Gabizon’s “Longing,” an English-language remake of his own award-winning 2017 Israeli drama, Richard Gere stars as Daniel Bloch. He’s an old, wealthy businessman who suddenly finds out he has a 19-year-old son. You’ve probably seen this plot point enough times that you can already imagine where the film is going. He’ll meet the boy, they’ll develop a bond and in the end he’ll probably show up at the last possible minute to the kid’s dance recital or something.
But only seconds after Daniel finds out he has a child, he finds out he doesn’t anymore. His son died a few days ago, so they’ll never get to meet. Daniel never wanted a kid in the first place, but the opportunity was handed to him and then taken immediately away. There are five-car pileups that don’t give this much whiplash.
