Le Grande Role

(France, 2003, 89 minutes French with English subtitles Director: Steve Suissa)

Tuesday, September 9 - 7:30 pm, Cedar Lee Theatre

FilmFest 2008- Le Grande RoleMaurice and his lively group of Jewish actor friends struggle for their big breaks in this bittersweet film that changes direction like an O’Henry story. When a famous American director (Peter Coyote) comes to France to cast the role of Shylock for his all-Yiddish production of “The  Merchant of Venice,” Maurice gets his chance – but must cope with heartbreak at the same time.
