New 4K Restoration!
HESTER STREET
United States | 1975 | Joan Micklin Silver
Here’s a new 4K restoration of a landmark indie film with two local connections: filmmaker Joan Micklin Silver and star Carol Kane are both former Clevelanders! Set on NYC’s Lower East Side at the end of the 19th century, the movie tells of a Russian Jewish immigrant couple whose marriage is strained by the idea of assimilation: he wants to, she doesn’t. Kane earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for her performance, and the film itself—the feature debut of pioneering female filmmaker Silver—helped launch the modern era of American independent cinema. “A charming, wonderfully human film about the agonies, traumas, and embarrassments of becoming an American…Entrancing." –Kenneth Turan. Cleveland revival premiere. Some subtitles. DCP. 90 min.
Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
