At 2500 words, âThe magic felafelâ is a lengthy article that manages to keep the audience engaged by giving a fairy tale/anecdotal style summary of Director Richard Lowensteinâs career. The anecdotal style creates an article that is not only informative, but is also a piece of entertainment. It chronicles the ups and downs of his professional life that came with each new body of work. The article states that âEveryone loves you when you're hot, but nobody cares for you when you're not,â in an indirect quote of Lowensteinâs sentiments. By centring on the character that is Richard Lowenstein, the author creates an interest point for the audience that will get them invested. The article proceeds to give a description of âHe died with a felafel in his handâ and tells of Lowensteinâs intransigence in getting it made. This appeals to the sense of hard work and persistence that is entrenched in Australian values. It describes the chance encounter at a café with Domenico Procacci that was key in getting âfelafelâ off the ground. The author is sympathetic to Lowensteinâs problems, and that feeling is carried over to the audience through witty and meaningful prose. The Article finishes by stating that âHe Died With a Felafel in His Hand opens next Thursday,â a clear indication that the article is a piece aiming to recommend the film. Jim Schembri certainly achieved that aim.
