Liberty Heights
Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Homicide: Life on the Street)
returns to his hometown of Baltimore, the setting of his Diner, Avalon, Tin Men
and Homicide.
The result is Liberty Heights, a warmly funny, semi-autobiographical tale told
with an uncompromising eye for period detail and an eye-filling scale that
includes 4,000 extras. The year is 1954, a season of dramatic social flux that
Levinson explores through the eyes of a Jewish family, the Kurtzmans (Adrien
Brody, Ben Foster, Joe Mantegna, Bebe Neuwirth).
Friendship, romance, rock-n- roll, courage, racism, Cadillacs, Halloween (Should a nice Jewish boy dress up as Hitler?): the times are indeed changing. The Kurtzmans' and America will never be the same.

- " Liberty Heights is worth a look, with its rich characters and dialogue, and its gorgeous cinematography by Chris Doyle. " – Jeffrey M. Anderson
- " Excellent re-creation of the clothing and landmarks of Baltimore in the 1950s. " – Judith Egerton
