A wonderful first film from writer/director Mendelsohn, JUDY BERLIN concerns a day in the life in Babylon, Long Island. A revolving cast of characters reflect upon their existences, including a failed movie director, an aspiring actress, a confused elementary school principal, a depressed teacher, and a housewife who is struggling with her sanity. When an extended solar eclipse settles on the town, the surreal atmosphere gives each individual time to reflect on the choices they've made up to that point. An intelligent, sensitive treatment of suburbia, JUDY BERLIN won Mendelsohn the Best Director award at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.
