We are pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, May 20 we will present the multi-award-winning, highly acclaimed film Marty.
Marty was nominated for EIGHT Academy Awards and won four including Best Picture of 1955 and Best Actor for Ernest Borgnine. In addition to winning the Oscar for Best Picture, the film enjoyed international success. It won the first Palme d’Or, the highest prize awarded the Best Feature Film at the Cannes Film Festival, the most prestigious film festival in the world. It is one of only four movies to win both the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Palme d’Or. Marty was deemed “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant” and selected for preservation in the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry.
Ernest Borgnine is magnificent as a 34-year-old, socially awkward Bronx butcher, pressured by his mother and community to get married. He is the last of seven siblings to remain unmarried. He has given up on ever meeting a woman. And then he meets Clara…
Borgnine’s performance is one for the ages. This film is a cinematic classic. It is a movie that makes you wish they still made movies like this.
The Movie Matinee is at 2:00. The film is 1½ hours in length.
There will be a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after the screening. There will be an essay about the movie provided to attendees.
There will be refreshments. No reservations are required.
Beit Knesset Hanassi is located at 24 Ussishkin Street. The admission is 20 shekels for members of the shul and 30 shekels for non-members.
If you can please bring the exact change, we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
