The Jewish people invented Sholem Aleichem as he invented them. His greatness as a writer was founded on an uncanny ventriloquism—he conjured up characters through their distinctive voices and with the help of the richness of the Yiddish language, compared by one scholar to Elizabethan English. Thus, in addition to Sholem Aleichem, < i>Laughing in the Darkness focuses on his three greatest creations: the feckless speculator Menachem Mendl, irrepressible orphan boy Motl Peyse, and the humorously long-suffering dairyman Tevya. Analysis is provided by an informative cast of talking heads, including Sholem Aleichem’s granddaughter, the ageless Bel Kaufman; academic Yiddishists Dan Miron, David Roskies, and Ruth Wisse; and translator Hillel Halkin, who proves to be the movie’s sharpest, funniest, most Sholem Aleichem–like commentator. Additional substance comes from Dorman’s ongoing use of period photos and newsreel footage. In the spirit of the Sholem Aleichem oeuvre, Laughing in the Darkness is a collective family album.

The trailer looks awful. The music would work better for a wilderness dog adventure story and the voice-over seems like an attempt to make it as sensational seeming as possible but ends up making it cheap. Visual style of low budget lower east side New York centric films from the 80's - like Crossing Delancey. It's too bad these kids choose not to embrace their current generation's ideas about, well, many things. It's so out of touch.
