Young Friends of Film Judy Berlin Thursday, June 5, 2008 at 7:30 pm “Some movies are too good to miss. ‘Judy Berlin’ is one of them.” – Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Actress Edie Falco and director Eric Mendelsohn will be present for a Q&A. As always, there will be a post-film party with an open bar and hors d’oeuvres. Boasting an all-star cast of New York actors including Edie Falco and Madeline Kahn, and shot in sumptuous black-and-white, the film is an incredibly sensitive and humorous debut by writer/director Eric Mendelsohn. Winner of the 1999 Directing award at the Sundance Film Festival, the film went on to be an opening night film for New Directors/New Films. Sadly, it was also Madeline Kahn’s final film. Judy Berlin Eric Mendelsohn, US, 1999, 93m In this perceptive, suburban drama, a solar eclipse descends on the lonely inhabitants of a Long Island town as they try to cope with their unhappy lives and connect with one another. A lonely teacher flirts with her married principal while his high strung wife twirls at home. At the center is a failed filmmaker, who mopes about town until he happens upon the bubbly Judy Berlin, a former high-school acquaintance and aspiring actress.
