Little Odessa

The feature film debut of 25-year-old James Gray, Little Odessa is a modern American drama, an uncompromising tale of family, love, betrayal and loss. Set in the mysterious, closely-knit Russian Jewish emigre community of Brighton Beach, Brooklyn during one bleak winter, "Little Odessa" is a richly atmospheric study of the last days of a proud but tormented family. Little Odessa stars Tim Roth, Edward Furlong, Moira Kelly, Vanessa Redgrave, and Maximilian Schell.
