Mon 1 Feb, 12-1:30 pm. Mondays, February 1, 8, 15, and 22 from 12 noon to 1:30 pm The search for home is as ancient as exile from Eden and as contemporary as the struggle to find home in Chicago, Shanghai, or Jerusalem. For Jewish women, history and the Holocaust have rendered this a struggle not only to define home—whether it is a geographical location or state of mind—but also to establish an authentic identity within that home. Through readings, discussions, and film, this mini-course explores the many natures and meanings of home and identity. 610 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, 60605. Ellie Sandler, 312.322.1700.

Sat 6 Feb, 7-8:30 pm. My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? by Werner Herzog (2009, 91 min.). “Five Stars. Mesmerizing…a singular cinematic object” (Kevin Uhlich, Time Out New York). Based on a true story, police officer Hank is called to a bungalow in a respectable San Diego neighborhood where a man named Brad has barricaded himself in his house and taken two hostages. Across the street, Brad’s mother lies dead, found sprawled in a pool of blood, the victim of a sword wound. The son is suspected of the murder. Slowly the bizarre pieces of the story are placed in front of Hank. The mood and tone Herzog imparts is an eerie blend of David Lynch, who executive produced the film, and his own singular style.
