American Stories: Food, Family and Philosophy
1989 · 1 hr 32 mins
Chantal Akerman explores Jewish American identity in this multilayered portrait of the immigrant experience. Shot in Brooklyn near the Williamsburg Bridge, Histoires D'Amérique takes the form of a series of first-person addresses delivered by a cross-section of Jewish New Yorkers, whose by turns tragic and humorous tales speak to a collective history of trauma, displacement, and resilience.
Director: Chantal Akerman
Cast: Mark Amitin, Eszter Balint, Stephan Balint, Judith Malina, Kirk Baltz
