QuickView
Story-line: Montrealer Duddy Kravitz is young, Jewish and blessed with an excessively healthy entrepreneurial spirit. Watch him juggle business and sentiments in this movie based on a Mordecai Richler novel.
Pluses: a story like no other. An incredible performance by Richard Dreyfuss.
Minuses: none really, except a local flavour that may be lost on certain viewers (a very minor drawback).
Comments: this film offers very funny moments (its first two minutes are among the liveliest in movie history) and a good dose of tragedy. A must-see for film buffs and one of Canada’s proudest cinematic achievements.
