THE
by actor LIEV SCHREIBER, whose
mother is Jewish. From the best-sell-
ing novel, it tells the story of a young
man's (Elijah Wood) quest to find a
woman who saved his grandfather,
when the Nazis wiped his Ukrainian
town off the map.
Bee Season, from MYLA
GOLDBERG's novel, stars Richard
Gere and Juliet Binoche as Jewish par-
ents of a young spelling whiz whose
prowess upsets the family's life.
ROMAN POLANSKI's new ver-
sion of Oliver Twist features BEN
KINGSLEY playing the Jewish char-
acter Fagin in a relatively sympathetic
tone — different from the anti-
Semitic stereotypes in most prior ver-
sions.
The Free Zone, by Israeli director
AMOS GITAI, received mixed
reviews at Cannes, but Israeli actress
HANA LASZLO won a major
Cannes festival acting award. Co-star
NATALIE PORTMAN will be in
Toronto. The film is set in Israel.
The Italian film The Passion of the
Jew sounds very weird: A young
Jewish man is expelled from Spain
along with other Jews in 1492. He
goes to Sicily, but the Jews are being
persecuted there, too. He hides his
background and plays Christ in a
passion play and is literally cruci-
fied.
Ben Kingsley (a two-fer Jewish
character festival for Ben!) plays the
famous Dr. HERMAN TARNOW-
ER, the (Jewish) "Scarsdale Diet"
doctor who was murdered by his
lover, Jean Harris, in the bio-pic
Mrs. Harris.
SYDNEY POLLACK premieres
his documentary Sketches of 'Frank
Gerhry, on the life of famous Jewish
American architect FRANK
GEHRY.
Finally, Martin Scorcese premieres
his documentary No Direction
Home, about BOB DYLAN, at
Toronto. It will be aired on PBS
Sept. 26-27.
Many of the aforementioned films
will open in Detroit this fall. See
upcoming issues of the Jewish News
for more in-depth stories.
