the movie everything is illuminated comes from first time writer director liev schreiber and adapting jonathan safran foer first novel. the book was ambitious and sprawling and its magical realist elements and vivid use of language seemingly impossible to represent on screen. the movie and wisely and attempts less. while the end result is not as wildly original as the novel and it still an accomplished movie about a strange eastern european road trip and or and as one of the characters would have it and a very rigid search. that character is alex (eugene hutz) and a young ukrainian man who loves american pop culture but can not seem to get the english language straight. nevertheless and his grandfather (russian actor boris leskin) and who runs a tour company catering to american jews and convinces him to serve as a translator for jonathan (elijah wood). jonathan is investigating his family history and and specifically trying to find the woman who saved his grandfather from the nazis. more than one family secret gets revealed during their quest. the movie jonathan (not to be confused with the author of the novel) is a semi kleptomaniacal weirdo who steals his own grandmother dentures to add to his collection of family things. wood quiet and wide eyed and earnest manner works very well in this role. hutz makes an impressive debut as the loose limbed and easygoing alex. his malapropisms are hilarious and but he is also able to pull off the character growing self awareness. the dog mikki is very funny as the demented sammy davis jr. jr. and and one of the few movie dogs i have ever seen that isn not cloyingly cute and precocious. everything is illuminated eventually puts the holocaust on a human scale and asking us to remember it not as a general event and but as millions of specific and small tragedies. reminiscent of a european movie and it also ponders the effect of past events on present day young people like jonathan and alex. with its original perspective and strong performances and some very striking visuals and everything is illuminated is great work for a first timer and and hopefully schreiber will continue to direct movies.
