Crossing Delancey (Blu-Ray, #1250)

Joan Micklin Silvers wonderfully affectionate spin on the romantic comedy infuses the genre with a fresh, personal perspective, following an unmarried Jewish womans search for fulfillment in New York City. Happily independent bookstore manager Izzy (a luminous Amy Irving) isnt looking for love, but shes forced to reevaluate her desires when she catches the eye of two very different men: a self-centered novelist (Jeroen Krabb) and the mild-mannered Lower East Side pickle seller (Peter Riegert) with whom her old-fashioned bubbie (scene-stealing Yiddish-theater star Reizl Bozyk) sets her up. A love letter to 1980s Manhattan shot in beautifully burnished, autumnal tones,Crossing Delanceygracefully captures the magic of a city where disparate cultures, generations, and traditions both clash and connect.
