Fiddler's Journey to the Big Screen (2022)

Celebrating the golden jubilee of the epoch-making film, Fiddler on the Roof, fondly regarded by Pauline Kael of The New Yorker as "the most potent film musical in history," FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN sails us down the memory lane, adroitly narrated by Jeff Goldblum. This compelling narrative is an ode to director Norman Jewison's audacious endeavor to breathe life into the vanished epoch of Jewish existence in Tsarist Russia while giving the cherished stage hit a panoramic cinematic makeover. The film, under the masterful direction of Oscar-nominated Daniel Raim, transports us into Jewison's creative psyche and director's seat, unraveling the saga through a mélange of previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage, original storyboards, and exclusive stills. The narrative is punctuated with fresh interviews, featuring the creative ensemble behind Fiddler- Norman Jewison, Topol (Tevye), musical maestro John Williams, design virtuoso Robert F. Boyle, critic Kenneth Turan, lyricist Sheldon Harnick, and the actresses Rosalind Harris, Michele Marsh, and Neva Small who brought Tevye's daughters to life on screen. FIDDLER'S JOURNEY TO THE BIG SCREEN subtly yet powerfully unfolds how the journey of crafting "Fiddler" enriched Jewison's artistic trajectory and rekindled his spirit, making this film a must-watch for fans and enthusiasts of cinematic history.
