From the darkness of Europe's death camps to the lush mountains of New York's Catskills, Four Seasons Lodge captures the final season for a community of Holocaust survivors who come together each summer to celebrate their lives. Beautifully photographed by a team of cinematographers led by Albert Maysles (Gimme Shelter, Grey Gardens), Four Seasons Lodge is a counterintuitive film about the Holocaust, one that captures the Lodgers' intoxicating passion for living, in bracing contrast to lives harrowed by loss. Says Fran Lask, 82, a survivor of Bergen-Belsen: "This is our revenge on Hitler. To live this long, this well, is a victory."

 

 

"A full-bore 'Jewish' cinematic feast, evoking in these old-timers' tales, inflections, and habits an entire century's worth of disappearing ethnic reality." - Michael Atkinson, Boston Phoenix

 

"A bittersweet, life-affirming documentary." - Jewish News Weekly

 

Powerful, poignant….[a] universal look at aging and the solace that social networks provide. 
Highly recommended
