The antisemitic nature of some literary characterizations of Jews is perhaps most famously discussed in relation to Shakespeare’s Shylock (The Merchant of Venice runs at the Cutler Majestic through April 10). In contemporary media, mothers may be the most easily maligned image of Jewish women. Mamadrama takes a funny, penetrating look at how affectionate portrayals in early Yiddish and Hollywood silent movies developed into the Jewish Mother of modern Hollywood and, conversely, the more flesh and blood characterizations in contemporary Israeli cinema. Co-presented with the National Center for Jewish Film.
