"Divan"
2003
Directed by Pearl Gluck

With nimble humor and a willingness to tackle serious themes, Pearl Gluck embarks on a cross-continental quest to retrieve an ancestral couch - a family heirloom upon which a famous rabbi once slept. Along the way, Gluck's amusing search becomes a vehicle for exploring serious issues of family, culture, history, and religion. "Warmhearted but unsentimental, touching but not mawkish, clever but never cute, Divan is almost miraculously modest" (J. Hoberman, Village Voice). English, Yiddish, and Hungarian with English subtitles. 77 minutes.
