"Golem: The Spirit of Exile"
1992
Directed by Amos Gitai

Amos Gitai fuses the Book of Ruth and other Biblical tales of exile with the Jewish legend of the Golem, into a Biblical parable for the modern world. Elimelech, Naomi, and their sons move to a new city. Elimelech dies, and the sons are murdered. Naomi, stranded, forges an enduring friendship with Ruth, one of her sons' widows. Together they cautiously face the future. Set in a gorgeously photographed Paris, packed with talent, heady with ambition, and infinitely mesmerizing, Golem: The Spirit of Exile is a major achievement. Featuring Bernardo Bertolucci, Sam Fuller, and Hanna Schygulla. French and other languages, with English subtitles. 105 minutes.
