I am pleased to announce the next Movie Matinee at Beit Knesset Hanassi. On Tuesday, September 17 we will present THE BEST MAN.
This film is a
dramatic, remarkably insightful look at American presidential
politics. Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson play the two leading
candidates for their party’s nomination. They are neck and neck,
with neither candidate having a majority. Robertson plays the
ruthless, amoral, demagogic “man of the people”. Fonda is the
principled intellectual.
All the noble and
unsavory aspects of American presidential politics are on display in
this brilliantly scripted and acted film. Campaign managers dredge up
skeletons in the closet, rumors, lies, character assassinations and
more. Each candidate has something on the other that would destroy
their candidacy—if they use it!
Who’s going to win
the nomination and thus become the next president? Find out in this
superb and timely movie.
The Movie Matinee is
at 2:00. The film is 1¾ hours in length. In addition, there will be
a brief introduction of the film, a short talk and discussion after
the screening.
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.
