Bye Bye Braverman
Series: Dziga and His Brothers: A Film Family on the Cutting Edge [Nov 17 - 26 2006]
Director: Sidney Lumet, Country: USA, Release: 1968, Runtime: 92

Does a car driving around New York City become a synagogue if its inhabitants are four Jews engaged in never-ending disputations? What if the long-deferred destination of the car is a funeral? What if the officiating rabbi is Alan King and the principal mourner is George Segal? A knowing, bitingly funny film about not-quite-assimilated Upper West Side intellectuals, Bye Bye Braverman allowed Boris Kaufman to return to his roots; the lovely collage of images that make up the film’s vision of New York add up to as much of a "city symphony" as his early experimental film with Jean Vigo, A Propos de Nice. An offbeat comedy from director Sidney Lumet, as well as a delightful time capsule of the city he loves so well.
