Green Fields Synopsis
Ulmer's soulful, open-air adaptation of Peretz Hirshbein's classic play heralded the Golden Age of Yiddish cinema. When an ascetic young scholar ventures into the countryside, searching for the city of "true Jews," he learns some unexpected lessons from the Jewish peasants who take him in as a tutor for their children.
"The Thirteen" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Green Fields" offers its own unique cult appeal.
