The fall of 2021 marked the 50th anniversary of “Fiddler on the Roof,” the film Pauline Kael called ”the most powerful movie musical ever made.” Narrated by Jeff Goldblum, this epic documentary captures the humor and drama of director Norman Jewison’s quest to recreate the lost world of Jewish life in Tsarist Russia and re-envision the beloved stage hit as a wide-screen epic. Oscar-nominated filmmaker Daniel Raim puts us in the director’s chair and in Jewison’s heart and mind, drawing on behind-the-scenes footage, never-before-seen stills, and original interviews.
