Everything is Illuminated
Ever since Liev Shreiber hit the movie scene I
have wanted to see him in more films. He played a great character in Sum
of All Fears starring Ben Affleck; probably the best character besides
Morgan Freeman. Well, Liev Schreiber is back, but now he is behind the camera
for the book adaptation of the same name-- Everything
is Illuminated.
Everything is Illuminated Stills
Everything is Illuminated is a story about
a young American Jewish man goes on a quest to find the woman who saved
his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by
the Nazi invasion. His guides are a cranky grandfather and his over-enthusiastic
grandson, whose fractured command of English, passion for American pop culture,
and inability to shut up threaten to make the worst of every situation.
But what starts out as the tour from hell turns into a meaningful journey,
with an unexpected series of revelations that will change all of their lives.
