"Mendel"
1997
Directed by Alexander Rosler
The ghosts of the
Holocaust hang over a nine-year-old boy in this moving,
semi-autobiographical film from writer-director Alexander Rosler. Growing
up in Norway, young Mendel does not share the painful memories of the war
that his German-Jewish parents live with, but his childhood is burdened by
the weight of their history. This emotional, often humorous film provides
a rare and thoughtful look at the world of adults through the eyes of a
child. "A poignant, memorable portrait" (The New York Times).
85 minutes.
