40 Nickels

40 Nickels 2021

1

Based her grandfather’s boyhood in St. Louis, Yasmin Gorenberg tells a story of the pain passed from refugee parents to their children and the hope that can overcome it. “40 Nickels” captures the image of a generation of immigrants to the United States in the 1920’s and 1930’s and through that spotlights the effects of the 1919 pogroms in Eastern Europe. This is a film about parents and children: how trauma never leaves a family, and how hope and resilience is also passed down. It asks the question: Can a new generation look at the world with wonder rather than fear?

On a laid-back summer day, a young woman spends some time with her casual partner. Irmak Akgur directs "Limerence," a slice-of-life portrait that flows in uninhibited vignettes. Minimally plotted but tonally sharp, Akgur's film captures a couple of free spirits in their element - spending the day preening, dancing in the sun, making love. Built with convincing intimacy and naturalism, it culminates in a moment of carnal revelation.
