Germans & Jews

Germans and Jews is too sophisticated to provide a glib answer, but it shows how deeply involving just asking the question can be.

For a film encompassing generations of fraught history, Germans & Jews is awfully short, but hardly superficial.

A thoughtful and illuminating examination of a provocative subject.

The truly remarkable thing about this modest little movie is the revelation of how much change is possible within a relatively short time.

Part psychology seminar and sociology course, “Germans & Jews” finds its sharpest insights as it examines the stress of communication, when both sides are so hyper-aware of the past that it hinders what’s said in the present.
