Everything Is Illuminated

Based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel, “Everything is Illuminated” tells the story of a young American Jewish man's quest to find the woman who saved his grandfather in a small Ukrainian town that was wiped off the map by the Nazi invasion.

The journey begins as a comic nightmare, with an eccentric trio of paid “expert” guides sorely lacking in expertise: a cranky grandfather who insists on bringing his unruly seeingeye dog to help him drive, and his over-enthusiastic grandson, whose fractured command of English, passion for retro American pop culture, and inability to shut up threaten to make the worst of every situation.

But what starts out as the tour from hell turns into a surprisingly meaningful journey – with an unexpected and powerful series of revelations that will indelibly change all of their lives.

Critic Reviews:

• " It is a film that doesn't want us to forget. Or perhaps it is a film that wants a new generation to remember a past that profoundly shapes its present. " – Ron Reed

• " It's also a generous performance, because Wood literally takes a backseat to Hutz's movie-stealing turn as the language-mangling Alex, whose English is ‘not so premium’. " – Matthew Turner

• " Poignant, pensive and profound. " – Joe Utichi
