During its heyday in the Iate 1930s, Yiddish movies covered a broad range of genres: comedies, soap operas, the supernaturaI, Iiterary adaptations, musicals, and Lubitsch-style romances. Unified through language, gesture, and a common culturaI sensibility, they captured the essence of the Jewish soul. Comprised of both the essentiaI fiIms (The Dybbuk, Tevya) and the lesser-known programmers (The Yiddish King Lear, MoteI the Operator), this five-disc set captures the diversity of Yiddish film, and encourages a better appreciation of this most fascinating, but rareIy-viewed genre. The ten features in this colIection were restored by Lobster Films, the result of an unprecedented coIIaboration between the Museum of Modern Art, the Deutsche Kinemathek and the FiImoteka Narodowa in Warsaw. Each film has been newly translated by noted Yiddish actor (the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man), pIaywright and translator AIIen Lewis Rickman.
