Jewish Virtual Film Club – February 10, 2024

Please join our discussion on Zoom, Saturday Evening, February 10 at 7:00 PM!

We continue to discuss powerful movies that explore Jewish identity and the challenges of acceptance.  We look at films about friends, co-workers, family, life partners and interfaith relationships.  Films portray very different images (and stereotypes) of gentiles, assimilation, and the importance of Jewish identity.

“Golda” (2023) is a dramatic and timely look at the existential threat faced by Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.  The formidable Helen Mirren (“Woman in Gold, The Hundred-Foot Journey”) is aptly cast as Golda Meir, the “Iron Lady of Israel”, and the only woman to hold the position of Israeli Prime Minister.

IMPORTANT: Watch this film on SHOWTIME, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, Fubo, or rent on your own before our meeting.

PG-13 1h 40m

“Helen Mirren works her magic to make 'Golda' shine” – Boston Herald

“Helen Mirren impresses as a leader under unimaginable pressure” - Daily Telegraph

“Mirren astounds….an absolutely barnstorming take by a terrific performer” - Roger Ebert.com

 Faced with the threat of Israel’s annihilation, Golda Meir (Helen Mirren), must navigate a skeptical cabinet, army chiefs who dismissed her as an old lady with no battle experience, and a complex relationship with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber). Her leadership, tenacity and compassion would ultimately decide the fate of her nation and leave her with a controversial legacy. 

Watch GOLDA on SHOWTIME, fubo, or Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.

Rent for as little as $1.99 on Amazon, Google Play, YouTube, Apple TV and other streamers.

Our meetings take place on Zoom, with details announced before each meeting.

Following up our March 2023 discussion of Neil Diamond’s 1980 film The Jazz Singer, we keep it musical with this Golden Globe and Oscar-winning adaptation of Isaac Bashevis Singer’s short story “Yentl the Yeshiva Boy.”

Barbra Streisand stars in this story about a girl in a 1904 Poland shtetl who disguises herself as a man so she can study Talmud at an all-male Yeshiva school. 

·       Streisand, Mandy Patinkin and Amy Irving comprise a unique and ground-breaking love triangle complicated by Yentl’s defiance of social expectations, religious boundaries, and traditional gender roles.

·       Barbra Streisand became the first woman to be nominated and receive a Golden Globe for Best Director for the film, and Yentl also won the award for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy.  Yentl also won an Academy Award for Best Adaptation Score and Amy Irving was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Watch Yentl on MAX or rent it for as little as $1.99 on Amazon. Also available on Google Play, YouTube, Apple TV and other streamers.
