"Left Luggage"
1998
Directed by Jeroen Krabbe

Jeroen Krabbe made his directorial debut with this sensitive drama about a young woman awakening to the full significance of her Jewish heritage. Although she is the daughter of Holocaust survivors (Maximilian Schell and Marianne Sagebrecht), the 20-year-old student is dismissive, even disdainful of that heritage until she takes a job as a nanny with an ultra-Orthodox couple (Krabbe and Isabella Rossellini). "Most films about Hasidic life are filled with caricatures of a pitilessly hidebound people. This more nuanced view is appreciated" (Leslie Camhi, The Village Voice).  100 minutes.
