THE MAN WHO CRIED (598 words)
Set in 1927, Cried opens in a Russian shtetl that is full of thin guys with beards, thick-ankled women with babushkas, and kids who look normal but will evolve into one of these two kinds of adults.
But shortly after he leaves, the shtetl is burned to the ground, and the wide-eyed Fegele is smuggled into England with only a photograph of her dad and a couple of coins sewed into her dress.
Cried flashes forward about 10 years, when an older Suzie (a slimmed-down Christina Ricci, Sleepy Hollow) hightails it away from the parents to whom she apparently never developed any kind of attachment and heads for Paris, where she becomes a dancer in a theatre company owned by Felix Perlman (Harry Dean Stanton, The Green Mile).
The Man Who Cried (2000) (719 words)
I had been avoiding The Man Who Cried for years because the video box reveals only that it will be about theater people in France, and that appeals to me about as much as a subtitled film about carney freaks.
The Man Who Cried begins in Russia, where a young girl enjoys an idyllic childhood with her loving father in spite of the political instability and ecomonic depression that frames their lives.
Ultimately, the advice of the man who cried is the one thing that will both preserve and make sense of Susan's life, if she survives to see it through.
