THE CEMETERY CLUB mixes humor and pathos as it examines the lives of three elderly Jewish women who have lost their husbands. The three regularly visit the cemetery together to pay their respects. Doris (Olympia Dukakis) is prim and prudish, unable to bring herself to laugh at an off-color joke. Lucille (Diane Ladd) is loud and outrageous. Esther (Ellen Burstyn) tries to find a balance between the two extremes. Their friendship is thrown into disarray when Esther meets a widower (Danny Aiello) and the two begin a tentative romance.
Cast:
"...Burstyn gives an attractive, absolutely honest performance....[Dukakis, Ladd and Aiello also work well..."
-- Vincent Canby
, (New York Times)
"...The scenes between Burstyn and Aiello are at the heart of the movie, and are sweet and warming..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) |
