Movie Haiku:Edwin Honig was a Jewish guy born in Brooklyn right after WWI who rose to become a great intellectual--poet/translator/literature professor. Then he succumbed to Alzheimers. Armed with loving memories of the Great Man in his prime, Berliner uses his family access to chart the loss--body present/mind gone--but despite some wonderful imagery, Berliner fails.
