Wishing our friends and

ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash
Power), and he currently runs New
York's Queer/Art/Film program.
Sachs traces his activism to his
progressive Jewish upbringing in
Memphis, Tenn., where his father
was involved in the American Civil
Liberties Union, his mother worked
to eradicate poverty and the family's
Reform synagogue rallied for civil
rights in the 1960s and '70s.
Sachs, who served as president
of his chapter of the National
Federation of Temple Youth, also
lived for a time in Memphis' inner
city — where some of his neighbors
were impoverished — and which
spurred his interest in the issues of
class and inequality that permeate all
his films.
Thus, the hardships that Ben and
George experience in Love Is Strange

stem more from their finances than
from their gay identities.
"I think that character can be
defined, in part, by economics,"
Sachs said. "Freud said that the only
thing harder to talk about than sex is
money because that's so essential to
who we are.
"What's interesting about Ben and
George is that their separation is due
to external forces, and that makes it
even more of a love story:' he added.
"We get to know and value their
relationship because we see them at a
moment of struggle:' ❑

Istvan Szabo's epic 1999 film about
a Hungarian Jewish family spanning
the 20th century.
"Being Jewish is part of my life,
but its not my only subject," Horovitz
says.
The writer has garnered several
shelves' worth of awards, including
France's Commandeur de l'Ordre des
Arts et des Lettres. He is as famous
and respected in France as he is in
the U.S., which allows him a unique
perspective on the increase in French
anti-Semitism.
"I have some Jewish friends [in
Paris], some of them in high places,
who are grievously alarmed, and
some Jewish friends who are kind of
in denial," Horovitz says.
"And then I have me, in my own
skin, and when I'm in Paris, I'm,
quite frankly, a very highly regarded
playwright, so I may not get the same
kind of experience or the same kind
of anti-Semitism [as] some French
Jew going to synagogue in a [small]
town.
"You couldn't have a more Jewish
name than mine unless your name

was Israel Jew, so there's no question
in anybody's mind when they meet
me that I'm Jewish. Do I personally
experience a lot of anti-Semitism?
Almost none. Almost none that I
see:'
Horovitz can't say the same about
growing up in Wakefield, Mass., a
Boston suburb, in the 1940s and '50s,
where he experienced anti-Semitism
"on a daily basis."
"I can't, in my wildest imagination,
think that all of France or all of Paris
is anti-Semitic, but the people who
go out in the street with their fists in
the air and do Hitler salutes are cer-
tainly visible:'
For his next film project, Horovitz
is working on a screenplay based on
Park Your Car in Harvard Yard, his
play about an old Jewish man (and
retired high school teacher) and his
younger housekeeper (and former
student). ❑

My Old Lady is scheduled to
open on Friday, Sept. 19.
