EJC Movie Night: "Crossing Delancey"

  • Eastside Jewish Commons 2420 Northeast Sandy Boulevard Portland, OR, 97232 United States (map)

"'Crossing Delancey' is an unqualified pleasure, bound on every side by love." - Sheila Benson, LA Times

"The implausible and the irresistible come joyfully together." - Molly Haskell, Vogue


A FUNNY MOVIE ABOUT GETTING SERIOUS

Director Joan Micklin Silver's underrated gem from 1988 stars Amy Irving as thirty-something New Yorker Isabelle "Izzy" Grossman. Izzy spends her time going from her tiny, solitary West Side apartment to that of her grandmother (Reizl Bozyk) on the Lower East Side. In between, Izzy builds a glowing reputation at the swank bookstore where she works. While her grandmother plots to find her a romantic match, Izzy is courted by a married, worldly author, Anton (Jeroen Krabbé), yet can't seem to shake the down-to-earth appeal of Sam (Peter Riegert), a pickle vendor.


Bonus! Attendees will get a free pickle prior to the screening.
