The fall of 2021 marked the 50th anniversary of Fiddler on the Roof, the film Pauline Kael of The New Yorker called “the most powerful movie musical ever made.” Now, in the engrossing and exuberant Fiddler’s Journey to the Big Screen, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim captures director Norman Jewison’s brilliant vision to recreate the lost world of Jewish life in Tsarist Russia and reimagine the beloved musical as a wide-screen epic. Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, the film draws on behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-seen stills. Interviews with Jewison and many members of the cast and crew puts a spotlight on the creative process. We see how the making of Fiddler on the Roof was a life-changing experience for Jewison, as we get to know the heart and soul behind the film.Running Time: 88 minutes
