Immigrant Stories is a collection of films that illustrate the immigrant experience as it progresses along the generations. Free popcorn will be served, and a discussion will follow the screenings.

A Serious Man (Joel and Ethan Coen, 2009, 106 minutes). In 1967 Minesota, a mild-mannered Jewish physics professor named Larry Gopnik seeks guidance from three rabbis as his life collapses under an increasingly absurd and biblical series of misfortunes.

The Guardian called it a “sublimely funny, involving, utterly distinctive serio-comedy of mid-life crisis” and said “A Serious Man had me gripped from the first frames, and the film conjures a woozy, weightless feeling, combined with an almost hallucinatory clarity and heightened sense of itself.”

Watch the trailer here.
