Eran Kolirin is a filmmaker with a current retrospective at NYC's Quad Cinema, in celebration of his new film Let It Be Morning, which premiered at Cannes in Un Certain Regard. You'd know him most from the wildly successful The Band's Visit, which was adapted into a huge musical. I like the movie more, which I had the pleasure of watching on 35mm this week before moderating opening night's Q&A last night. Eran and I talk about identity most. What's it mean to be a Jew? Israeli? Middle Easterner? What's a wall? How's it impact us physically and psychologically? Shot before pandemic, the words 'lockdown' and 'protest' figure importantly and presciently here. I'm happy to watch the film for the first time now, given the newfound context. It's even more impactful.
