| | Movie Haiku: | 19th C tale with 21st C twist: while Teyve’s Anatevka offered few “lifestyle” options, Moshe’s Jerusalem shtetl is surrounded by them, so choosing to be devout is a daily struggle. For every stroke of good luck (a miracle?), there’s a corresponding temptation (a test?). Lovingly-made Israeli fable transcends religious doctrines. |
