Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Enemies: A Love Story w/Shawn Levy
Daniel & Harry welcome film critic, author, and podcaster Shawn Levy to discuss Paul Mazursky's 1989 film Enemies: A Love Story, starring Ron Silver, Anjelica Huston, Lena Olin, and Malgorzata Zajaczkowska.
They discuss what differentiates the experience of the Jewish immigrant to America in the early 20th century, analyze the film’s exploration of survival through children, what’s so special about fruit compote, and track how Herman’s 3 wives represent his connection to his past, present, and future.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film’s "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
