Maine Jewish Film Festival: Menashe
March 12, 2018, 7:00 PM
In the first 21st century Yiddish language film, Menashe, a good-hearted but somewhat hapless grocery store clerk, struggles against tradition to keep custody of his only son after his wife passes away. A rare inside illumination of New York’s notoriously secretive ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, this film provides a compelling portrait of a father trying to do the best for his beloved son.
In Yiddish with English subtitles. (PG, 82 min.)
This screening is part of the Maine Jewish Film Festival.
