A Skirball Academy Class
Dr. Eric Goldman:
The American Jewish Story Through Cinema: The Nineties
By the 1990s, Jews had firmly overcome their status as outsiders in America and reached a comfort level at the center of American society. But once they had done so, some filmmakers began openly struggling with the new status of Jews in America, wrestling with a myriad of aspects of Jewish identity. To explore their questioning, we will watch and discuss six films by Barry Levinson, Sidney Lumet, Barbra Streisand and Boaz Yakin, among others, for the insight they provide into a changing American Jewry.
