Footnote
A FILM BY Joseph Cedar
A FILM BY Joseph Cedar
Exquisitely assembled, with a pointedly grand musical score to emphasize the titanic (and at times hilarious) nature of filial duty, Footnote is itself a perfect little piece of Talmud
-Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
It is also, and not incidentally, one of the most accurate depictions I have ever seen of the peculiar mores and rituals of academe.
-Jay Weissberg, Variety
it's one of the smartest and most merciless comedies to come along in a while.
-Roger Ebert
Synopsis
FOOTNOTE is the tale of a great rivalry between a father and son. Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. While his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. FOOTNOTE is the story of insane academic competition, the dichotomy between admiration and envy for a role model, and the very complicated relationship between a father and son.Theatrical Release Date
