Tweet Here’s the trailer for Procession, a gem of a short film written and directed by Beth Spitalny. This is a tenderly rendered portrait of love, loss and grief. The film relies on wonderfully observed details and a classic, restrained style. There are no explosions, no special effects, no sex or nudity. Ms. Spitany is [...]

Tweet Because the Jewish film A Light for Greytowers was produced for a female audience, Karen sat down and screened the DVD, while Robert was safely tucked away in his office. A Light for Greytowers The movie evokes the Broadway musicals “Oliver” and “Annie” with admirable professionalism while injecting just enough Yiddishkeit to establish it [...]

Tweet Once again, Seraphic Secret is taking a short break from blogging the Gaza war to look back at the Ten Best Movies I screened in 2008. I have to admit that I did not see one contemporary release that comes close to the quality and passion of these older films. And keep in mind [...]

Tweet Ziegfeld girl and Jewish silent film star Anna Held cranks a Mutoscope. My friend Dirty Harry tagged me to list movies, any movies, using the alphabet as my guide. Now that’s a great idea.

As you’ll see, for this [...]

Tweet I like to turn Seraphic Secret over to a Seraphic Friend every once in a while. I do this in order to get another perspective on some vital issue, and to be perfectly honest, I do it to give myself a rest. I am, I confess, incredibly lazy. This way I can sit back [...]

Tweet Yesterday I posed this question: I’d like to ask my readers this: in Pride and Prejudice, the novel: when does Elizabeth fall in love with Darcy? This is no trick question. This not a philosophical question. There is a specific moment in the book when Elizabeth acknowledges that she has fallen in love with [...]

Tweet A country family must find husbands for five–count ‘em 1,2,3,4,5–daughters. There you have the bare bones of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice. But Austen’s amazing gift for characterization and her perfect ear for dialogue persuades us that this oh-so-mundane material is actually quite miraculous. Elizabeth Bennet, the second of this pentarchy of daughters, might [...]

Tweet Before I continue with my review of Pride & Prejudice, here is a brief, one-minute and four-second commercial interruption. Thanks so much to Seraphic friend Jake Novak for bringing this loving, gentle yet sensible message to our attention.
