Jewish Film Series presents: “Pour Le Femme”
The Seventh Annual Jewish Film Series concludes on Wednesday, May 28 with a screening of “Pour Le Femme” (For a Woman), presented in the original French with English subtitles.
The unexpected arrival of a brother who supposedly perished during World War II upsets the lives of a Jewish tailor and his pretty bride in this latest film from French veteran director Diane Kurys.
Inspired by the director’s own family history, this beautifully crafted historical drama goes back and forth between the immediate postwar period and 1980s France, when a young director (Sylvie Testud) tries to write a screenplay inspired by the story of her parents.
French stars Nicolas Duvauchelle and Benoit Magimel play Ukrainian-born but France-raised siblings, with Melanie Thierry playing the latter’s young wife, who finds herself inconveniently attracted to her brother-in-law.
