The Beloved (1991 film)

The Beloved is a 1991 drama film directed by Israeli director Menahem Golan. It is also known by the titles Netanya and Fortune Hunter.

The film stars Aidan Quinn, Greta Scacchi, and Virginia Madsen. It tells the story of a man named Josh (Quinn) who returns to Israel to claim his inheritance. He becomes entangled in complex relationships with two women: his cousin, Ruth (Scacchi), who is a widow struggling to raise her children, and Sarah (Madsen), an American tourist he meets.

The Beloved was Golan's first English-language film in several years, and it received mixed reviews upon its release. While some critics praised the performances of the actors and the exploration of the characters' emotional journeys, others found the plot convoluted and the pacing slow. The film was not a major box office success.
