One and one-half stars. Rated PG-13. 98 minutes. Vanessa H. Larson, Special To The Washington Post Disappointingly true to its title, “A Tale of Love and Darkness” is dark and somber in just about every way. In her feature directorial debut — which she also wrote and stars in — Natalie Portman has adapted celebrated Israeli author Amos Oz’s 2002 autobiographical novel of the same name into a dour and emotionally cold film. Oz’s best-selling book chronicles his childhood in Mandatory Palestine and post-statehood Israel, the background to his birth as a writer.
