Hester Street (Blu-ray)
Directed by Joan Micklin Silver
Steven Keats
Mel Howard
Dorrie Kavanaugh
Doris Roberts
In 1890s New York City, evocatively recreated on a shoestring budget, Jewish immigrant Jake (Steven Keats) has assimilated seamlessly into the American community...until his wife from back home (Carol Kane) arrives on his doorstep. Sumptuously shot in black and white, director Joan Micklin Silver’s loving, funny debut feature became an unexpected hit, and the rare independent American film to garner an Oscar® nomination for Kane’s heartbreaking, but ultimately empowering turn. Cohen Film Collection is proud to present a gorgeous new 4K restoration of this American classic.
Blu-ray Extras Include:
Two new interviews with director Joan Micklin Silver by Shonni Enelow
Archival audio commentary track with director Joan Micklin Silver and producer Raphael Silver
Archival interviews with key cast and crew members
Original opening title sequence and outtakes with audio commentary by Daniel Kremer, author of an upcoming book about Joan Micklin Silver
