Returning
once again to the Baltimore of his youth, director Barry
Levinson adds another installment to his Baltimore
Trilogy (DINER, TIN MEN, AVALON), tackling the
emotionally charged subjects of anti-Semitism and
racism--in addition to his standard themes of family,
friendship, and loyalty--in LIBERTY HEIGHTS. In 1954,
Ben Kurtzman (Ben Foster), a Jewish teen from Baltimore,
is intrigued by the new girl in his class.
The problem?
Sylvia (Rebekah Johnson) is one of the first African
American students to attend his school. While Ben and
Sylvia pursue a forbidden friendship in the early days
of desegregation, Ben's older brother, Van (Adrien
Brody), is smitten with Dubbie (Carolyn Murphy), a
beautiful wealthy WASP who may as well live in another
world. As the Kurtzman brothers struggle with their
budding relationships and new cultures, their father,
Nate (Joe Mantegna), is busy dealing with his own
problems. His failing burlesque show is a front for
running numbers, and he owes a huge payout to Little
Melvin, a small-time African American drug dealer who is
certain that Nate is trying to stiff him because of the
color of his skin. Levinson once again employs a subtly
entertaining visual style that allows the terrific
dialogue and serious story lines to play out with
realism and depth!!
