| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
“A Serious Man” is the story of an ordinary man’s
search for clarity in a universe where Jefferson Airplane
is on the radio and “F-Troop” is on TV. It is
1967, and Larry Gopnik (Michael Stuhlbarg), a physics professor
at a quiet Midwestern university, has just been informed by
his wife Judith (Sari Lennick) that she is leaving him. She
has fallen in love with one of his more pompous colleagues,
Sy Ableman (Fred Melamed), who seems to her a more substantial
person than the feckless Larry. Larry’s unemployable
brother Arthur (Richard Kind) is sleeping on the couch, his
son Danny (Aaron Wolf) is a discipline problem and a shirker
at Hebrew school, and his daughter Sarah (Jessica McManus)
is filching money from his wallet in order to save up for
a nose job.
While his wife and Sy Ableman blithely make new domestic
arrangements, and his brother becomes more and more of a burden,
an anonymous hostile letter-writer is trying to sabotage Larry’s
chances for tenure at the university. Also, a graduate student
seems to be trying to bribe him for a passing grade while
at the same time threatening to sue him for defamation. Plus,
the beautiful woman next door torments him by sunbathing nude.
Struggling for equilibrium, Larry seeks advice from three
different rabbis. Can anyone help him cope with his afflictions
and become a righteous person – a mensch – a serious
man?
