Come and watch a movie in English with your American and British friends, every other week in the American center at Kuban State Univeristy on the first floor. This week will be watching and discussing "Everything is Illuminated." Everything is Illuminated (2005): A young Jewish American flies to the Ukraine in search of his grandfather's past. He has a photograph and the name of a village. He hires the Odessa Heritage Tours, made up of a gruff old man and his English-speaking grandson. The three, plus grandfather's deranged dog, travel in an old car from Odessa into Ukraine's heart. Jonathan, the American, is a collector, putting things he finds into small plastic bags, so he will remember. Alex, the interpreter, is an archetypal wild and crazy guy. Alex asks the old man, "Was there anti-Semitism in the Ukraine before the war?" Will they find the village? The past illuminates everything. By the way, this is my FAVORITE FILM of all time, and I would love for you to come and watch it with me! :)
