Erom

Il recente successo nel mondo letterario della trentaquattrenne Alice è turbato da inquietanti stati d’ansia. Immagini invasive di abusi sessuali la ossessionano e gli attacchi di panico si intensificano, lasciandola priva di fiducia e desiderio di contatti umani. Nell’edificio dall’altro lato della strada, il diciassettenne Ziv vive con i suoi genitori. È un giovane di talento che sogna di diventare un musicista professionista. Arruolatosi nell’esercito, sotto il peso dei doveri dell’età adulta si ritrova triste e vulnerabile, privato dei suoi sogni e della sua innocenza. Una visita casuale della vicina Alice gli permette di incontrare l’oggetto delle sue fantasie adolescenziali. L’incontro critico tra questi due moderni abitanti della città produrrà distruzione e crescita, violenza e grazia.

Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen

The fall of 2021 marked the 50th anniversary of Fiddler on the Roof, the film Pauline Kael (The New Yorker) called "the most powerful movie musical ever made." Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN captures the humor and drama of director Norman Jewison's quest to recreate the lost world of Jewish life in Tsarist Russia and re-envision the beloved stage hit as a wide-screen epic. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim puts us in the director's chair and in Jewison's heart and mind, drawing on behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen stills as well as original interviews with Jewison, Topol (Tevye), composer John Williams, production designer Robert F. Boyle, film critic Kenneth Turan, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, and actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, and Neva Small (Tevye’s daughters). The film explores how the experience of making Fiddler deepened Jewison as an artist and revived his soul.
