We are delighted to bring you Nora's Will, a Mexican film, in November. Although shown at the Century Theater many years ago, the film deserves a repeat viewing. Set among Mexico City's Jewish community, this comedy focuses on the complications involved with organizing a memorial while others are preoccupied with Passover. Also complicating matters are one of the character's status as a nonbeliever and the unexpected contents of Nora's will.
The film will be available to watch starting on Thursday, November 6 and will continue through Monday, November 10.
On Thursday, November 6 at 7 PM, Fred Rosenbaum will discuss this captivating family comedy as a reflection of the deep, often unbridgeable, divisions within Mexican Jewry, and that Jewish community’s unique relationship to its host society. But in navigating a life cycle event among different cultures and belief systems, Nora’s Will speaks to us as much as to Mexicans.
