Category :: Movie
Export to My Calendar
Director Joan Micklin Silver’s film is praised for its reconstruction of Jewish immigrant life in New York’s Lower East Side during the early 20th century. Yekl quickly assimilates into American culture and becomes “Jake”, but the transition is not as simple for his newly-arrived wife Gitl. Former Clevelander Carol Kane received an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Gitl. (1975/90min)
