J-Films Lecture: Steven Spielberg's Munich: a Reappraisal of the 2005 Film for Where We Are Now

JCC MetroWest

Join us for a discussion about Steven Spielberg's Munich and all the ways its meaning has changed – or not changed – since 2005!

J-Films

J-Films are film programs running year-round at the JCC, each one chosen to introduce a different subject matter or chosen to appeal to different audiences within our community.

Join your JCC community for a lecture and discussion with JCC MetroWest's Director of Film Programming, Stuart Weinstock, about a film that is "difficult" in the best possible sense. The release of Munich was announced with a 2005 Time Magazine cover article heralding it as "Spielberg's Secret Masterpiece," and the discourse around it has rarely been moderated since. With the benefit of hindsight and in the context of our conflicted present, we will try to arrive together at something closer to an "objective" understanding of this complex, unsettling, insightful, and rewarding film. Prior viewing of Munich is not required, but it is recommended, as our discussion of it will include its ending. The lecture will be supplemented with clips from the film – Munich is rated "R," and these clips may include violence and other R-rated content. Light refreshments in the theater lobby will follow the lecture and our discussion. This event is sponsored by the Eli and Miriam Kleinman Fund for Jewish Education
