Written by Pamela Gray, A Walk on the Moon follows Pearl Kantrowitz (Diane Lane) as she struggles with the conflicting desires of security and freedom. Pearl's daughter Alison (Anna Paquin) has reached her contentious teenage years, and her marriage to the reliable Marty (Liev Schreiber) has few thrills. When she meets "the blouse man" Walker Jerome (Viggo Mortensen), a traveling salesman and free spirit, they begin an affair that forces Pearl to re-examine her past and make important decisions about her future. The Jewish News recently caught up with Tony Goldwyn and asked him to share his thoughts on his new movie and the transition from acting to film- making. JN: What had been your impression of the Jewish Catskills bungalow experience prior to making A Walk on the Moon? TG: I didn't know anything about the Catskills world. I. grew up in L.A., and although my grandfather was Jewish, I didn't really grow up in a Jewish household. We were nonreli- gious: he married a Catholic and my mother was Protestant. It was a mish- mosh household. So the traditional Jewish world of Brooklyn and the Catskills in the 1960s was completely SHANGRI-LA lip foreign to me, and I thought it was fabulous and charming and I couldn't believe it. Yet it rang so true to me. JN: Was part of the attraction of the script seeing the conflict between this cloistered world and the rapidly changing outside? TG: That's it exactly, and it was also the perfect metaphor for what was happening inside Pearl. It exactly mir- rored her situation psychologically. JN: In making the transition from acting to directing, how difficult is it going from being concerned about your individual performance to being the person who's ultimately responsi- ble for the film? TG: I loved it; it wasn't hard at all. It was challenging, but it was a very nat- ural transition for me. I'd worked with enough first-time directors that I knew to immediately admit what I • didn't know and surround myself with people who are good at what they do and to rely on them. JN: What special skills do you think having been an actor brings to directing? TG: There's just an immediate corn- mon vernacular with the actors and a sensitivity to the creative process.

It's 1969 — the infamous Summer of Love — and she's a bored Jewish house- frau stuck with her pubescent teenage daughter, demanding young son, psy- chic mother-in-law and workaholic husband in a traditional Catskills resort just a stone's throw from Woodstock. Pearl, played by Diane Lane (The Cotton Club), swims through the ever present cigarette smoke of her friends, the daily mah-jongg and croquet games, trying to dodge the nagging suspicion that she's missed out on something important in life. The Apollo Mission is on its way to the moon, and the world is in the middle of the wild times that we remember as the '60s. So, it will come as no surprise that when the lovely Pearl bumps into the macho hippie traveling salesman Blouse Man, Walker Jerome (Viggo Mortensen, A Pofect Murder), the animal magnet- ism will be too strong to resist. The premise of the unfulfilled and frustrated housewife looking for sexual liberation is not a new one. And, indeed, this part of the story proves to be the least convincing and most pre- dictable part of the film. Diane Lane presents a one-dimensional facade, and Mortensen is never much more than a blond hunk of meat. What does shine in A Walk on the Moon are the background stories and everyone who plays a co-starring role. Liev Schreiber brings an intense • and believable consistency to the role of Marty Kantrowitz, Pearl's hard- working, TV repairman husband who only wants to see his family happy. Marty has had his dreams squelched too — by an early marriage to Pearl when she became pregnant dtiring a summer fling. But, he comports him- self with an air of nobility, shlepping the distance between Manhattan and
