Director: Neil Barskya (95 minutes, USA, 2012) / English / Documentary
Ed Koch is to the Big Apple as bagels are to lox. The three-time New York City mayor (1977-1989) is ferocious, funny, smart and blunt. He is also intensely private. Koch is a no-holds-barred, intimate portrayal of the world's most famous Jewish politician as he confronts his mortality and legacy as mayor of this most wondrous city. In candid interviews with then 88-year-old Koch, news footage, and with a journalist's eye, Neil Barsky's sweeping cinematic portrait follows Koch from his modest beginnings as the son of a Jewish furrier in the Bronx, through the turbulent decades of his brilliant political career.
