Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema The Vigil w/ JD Lifshitz
Daniel and Harry welcome producer JD Lifshitz to the pod to talk about the 2019 film The Vigil. They cover what JD doesn’t always like about “Jewish” movies, share behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the film, talk about how trauma affects the characters depicted in the film, and think of ways this movie could possibly be more Jewish!
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film’s "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
