| Imagine if Tom Hanks, Jane Fonda, and Leonardo Dicaprio were making a movie together. That’s essentially what you have in the internationally acclaimed film Karaoke as it stars three of the biggest names in Israeli cinema: Sasson Gabay, Rita Shukrun, and Lior Ashkenazi! Join us in celebrating Israel as we open our “Best of the Fest” program with star-studded heartfelt comedy Karaoke on Thursday, April 27 at 7:30pm at Temple Beth Am’s The Hub.
Nominated for 13 Israeli Academy Awards, Karaoke is a bittersweet comedy about a married, middle-class, suburban couple who are drawn to their new neighbor, a charismatic bachelor from Miami who holds karaoke evenings at his apartment. Funny, heartfelt, and sharp, this tale of self-discovery captures the poignant nuances of human nature, and the transcendent need to fulfill one’s aspirations.
The “Best of the Fest” Israeli program is hosted exclusively at The Hub at Temple Beth Am. MJFF Members are provided free entry to all screenings in the program, so if you haven’t become a Member yet now is the best time to do so! |
