AVALON (1990)

BARRY LEVINSON

Plot

Superb semi-autobiographical voyage into a family history across four generations; from the arrival of Levinson's Promised Land seeking Russian Jewish grandfather, through his brothers joining him, businesses, wives, children and family arguments, to the present day, with television ushering in a generation which has lost the art of communication and the ability to care.
