Golem: The Petrified Garden

A respected art dealer visits Siberia to view and purchase a coveted collection. Perhaps the most stunning piece of the lot is a giant statue of the mythic Jewish figure, the Golem. One finger of the statue is found which could hold the key to bringing this giant, mythic stone creature to life. Amos Gitai directs this allegorical tale using the legend of the Golem to understand the failed ideals of the Soviet Union. Maverick filmmaker Samuel Fuller is featured.
