Hester Street (1975)
Period pieces, like any film genre, are always hit or miss affairs. Some films emulate the era perfectly, by nailing the art direction, the costumes and the speech of the era. Then there are period pieces that lack one or more of the above. Unfortunately, Joan Micklin Silver’s “Hester Street” falls under the latter. While it honors the era of its plot, the way its cast presents it falls short.
Tumblr media
In 1896. on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, recent immigrant Yankel (Steven Keats) has assimilated to American life. He’s changed his name to Jake, works as a machinist, and put all religious traditions to the wayside. At the same time that he’s having an affair with a local woman named Mamie (Dorrie Kavanaugh), his wife Gitil (Carol Kane) and son Yossele (Joey) (Paul Freedman) come over to America. In that time, Gitil fails to assimilated like Yankel, and coupled with his constant infatuation for Mamie, their marriage faces its share of challenges.
Tumblr media
“Hester Street” does a great job at portraying late 19th century New York, with its Jewish enclave on the Lower East Side filled with horse carts, fruit stands, beggars and tenements. Director Silver even turns segments of the films into mini silent films where the characters interact with each other without spoken dialogue. Credit cinematographer Kenneth Van Sickle and production designer Stuart Wertzel for their faithful recreation. That’s all well and good, but once the characters speak, is where “Hester Street” starts to lose a lot of its luster. With the exception of from some of the Yiddish language dialogue, the actors seem like they’re playing dress-up instead of living and breathing the era. The actors’ Yinglish accents seem fake and too pronounced to be taken seriously. There’s acting in a matter of fact way, and then there’s over-emphasizing your lines, and “Hester Street” is filled with that in spades.
Tumblr media
Steven Keats is miscast as Yankel aka Jake. His performance is more like a theme park characterization all the way down to his fake mustache, and it’s all a distraction from what should have been a competent performance. Keats only excels at acting like a silent film actor with pratfalls and facial mannerisms. Carol Kane, in her film debut, is too maudlin to really make us care about her. While her command of the Yiddish language is impressive, Kane doesn’t stand out in anything else. She’s boring to watch and it isn’t because of the way her character is written. With two actors that are all wrong in their parts, you don’t route for Jake and Gitil’s marriage to work and if you can’t identify with the characters, you don’t have a fulfilling film.
Tumblr media
“Hester Street” received an Oscar nomination for Carol Kane’s performance which acted more as a filler than a genuine addition. The most laughable nomination was a Writers Guild Award for Best Screenplay, for a story that crams a generic story into 90 minutes without letting us really get into the characters. “Hester Street” could have been a great insight into the Jewish community beyond art direction, but merely scratches the surface over the differences between religion and secularism like a quick PowerPoint presentation. I wanted to know the full back story between Yankel and Gitil and how they got to this point in their lives, but all I got were two poor schmoes that you can find in any bread line or cramped tenement house.
5/10
