There will be two films with Jewish interest released in the US during the end of December:

  • I hadn’t heard of Defiance until a week or two ago when I stumbled across a book of the same title, which boasted how it was now a major motion picture. “In WWII Russia, Jewish refugees band together into a brigade that hides in the forest, ambushes Germans and survives until war’s end, eventually 1200 strong.”
  • Likewise, I came across Waltz with Bashir last night. It looks very interesting and promising, especially so because of it’s format: animated documentary.“One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 vicious dogs. Every night the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there is a connection between the dream and their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties. Ari is surprised he can’t remember a thing anymore about that period of his life…”
