During its heyday in the late 1930s, Yiddish movies covered a broad range of genres: comedies, soap operas, the supernatural, Iiterary adaptations, musicals, and Lubitsch-style romances. Unified through Ianguage, gesture, and a common cultural 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 newIy transIated by noted Yiddish actor (the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man), playwright and transIator Allen Lewis Rickman.
