ABOUT THE FILM
In Joan Micklin Silver’s feature debut, HESTER STREET, Gitl (Carol Kane in her Acadamy Award nominated role) and her son arrive on the lower East side of New York in 1896 to join her husband Jake (Steven Keats). While Jake, who has a job in a sweatshop and an English-speaking girlfriend, has completely embraced America, Gitl clings to her old country ways. Jake is embarrassed to be seen with her as he struggles to assimilate by shedding his ethnic heritage. Gitl finds a way to become victor instead of victim. “A magnificent performance by Carol Kane. An unconditionally happy achievement.” – The New York Times.
