THE RASHEVSKI'S TANGO: 2007 MAINE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL

The Movies on Exchange

THE RASHEVSKI'S TANGO
Directed by Sam Garbarski.
Belgium, France, Luxembourg, 2003, 100 min., French and Hebrew with English subtitles.

What does it mean to be Jewish? Three generations of the Rashevski family grapple with this question after the death of the family's secular matriarch, Rosa, who hated religion and rabbis, but shocks her family by requesting an Orthodox burial. When she was alive, Rosa Rashevski said that the tango was as good for you as chicken soup and much better than organized religion; and it is her fondness for the tango that has the most indelible effect on her family. Rosa's death sparks soul searching among three generations of the Rashevskis, including Holocaust survivors, Reform, Orthodox and non-observant Jews in this smart and funny exploration of modern European Jewish identity.
