ABOUT THE FILM: MORDECAI RICHLER: THE LAST OF THE WILD JEWS
Canadian novelist Mordecai Richler was one of the Jewish writers who dominated the literary landscape in the latter half of the twentieth century. Richler, born to immigrant parents and raised on Talmud, comic books, and tales of the old world, explored the Jewish immigrant experience in the new world. His best known novels, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Barney’s Version, were made into award winning films. This documentary features conversations with other outstanding literary voices, and captures the personality of the man known as contrary and unpredictable, one of the outstanding Jewish voices of the 20^th century. Mordecai Richler will have an encore screening at the ERJCC Kaplan Theatre, 5601 S. Braeswood Blvd., Wednesday, March 14 at 5:00 PM.
