Celebrate National Canadian Film Day with a taste of what is to come at the 31st annual Toronto Jewish Film Festival, where TJFF will be honouring actor-writer-director Saul Rubinek.
TJFF presents special a free screening of the Canadian classic, The Quarrel, set in 1948, and beautifully shot in Montreal’s Mount Royal Park.
Saul Rubinek and R.H. Thompson play two men who were the dearest of friends in their youth. Then they became bitterest of enemies. Now they are Holocaust survivors who have lost everything – alone in the world . As a result of their horrific experiences one has remained a deeply religious Jew while the other has turned his back on God. They meet by chance in Mount Royal Park. Despite their differences, they promise to spend the day together to try and resolve that which separates them.
“Fine direction, a forties era design that feels perfect and two superb actors at the top of their craft.”
