Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema The Big Lebowski w/ Julie Sugar
Daniel and Harry are joined by writer Julie Sugar to discuss 1998’s cult favorite “The Big Lebowski,” directed by the Coen Brothers and starring Jeff Bridges, Julian Moore, and John Goodman.
They delight in the film’s use of Yiddish and deep Jewish cuts, compare The Dude’s suffering to that of the Biblical Job, and consider the film’s depiction of Walter’s reverence for the laws and restrictions of his Jewish faith.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
