The Matchmaker with The Honeymoon Suite, a short - Peoria
Seeing is believing. But, believing what? What will you come to believe about Yankele Bride, Holocaust survivor, the Matchmaker of this film? Yankele is certainly not Yenta, the good hearted Matchmaker of Fiddler. But what is he? Yankele is a complicated, mysterious character. Is he a shady businessman in cahoots with a band of Romanian dwarfs, themselves survivors? But why does he specialize in helping those with disabilities and other serious problems? Is Yankele, in fact, more on a mission than in business? Is this why Yankele takes teenager Arik under his wing in summer, 1968 Haifa? This is that special summer: coming of age, first loves, the discovery of the human heart, always to be conflicted by choices between good and bad. But come watch, enjoy and perhaps find some answers as to what to believe from The Matchmaker.
"The Matchmaker is a love story, a coming of age story, a comedy, a drama, a tale of first love, friends, secrets and heartbreaking truths." Lenore Marwell, Jewish Film Festival, JCC of Metropolitan Detroit
Winner Audience Choice Award, 25th Israel Film Festival NY
Preceded by:
THE HONEYMOON SUITE (UK)- short
Director: Sam Leifer Drama, 12 minutes, English/French
The hotel room may be a suite, but in this film, the Honeymoon is hardly starting off in an "Oh, how sweet it is" mood. Is it particular to an arranged marriage cutting across language and cultural barriers? Perhaps not too many earlier generations experienced new, strange, or exciting marital beginnings. See for yourself, in this film of charming distress.
