STILL LIFE IN LODZ- 2020. Synopsis by Rotten Tomatoes. “The lure of family mysteries lies at the heart of STILL LIFE IN LODZ, an emotionally riveting documentary that journeys to the historically tumultuous city of Lodz, Poland. Here, a surprise reunion with a painting that hung in the same apartment for 75 world-altering years becomes a probing investigation into the power of memory, art, time and resilience. What follows is a deeply personal detective story rich with twists and. turns. But, equally it is an ode to the lost generations of Jewish Lodz and a look at how fragile–but also how incredibly necessary–our relationship with the past is for creating the future.”
