Grigory Kanovich's "Smile Upon Us, Lord"

Rimas Tuminas' adaptation of two novels by Grigory Kanovich is a dreamy, ruminative, comedic road trip, centering around the parlous fortunes of Eastern European Jews at the start of the 20th century. Smile Upon Us has garnered rave reviews during its recent runs in both London and New York, and promises to be just as memorable on the big screen.
