Cassuto is filmmaker Alan Berliner's maternal grandfather, a Palestinian Jew who was a cotton buyer for the Japanese in Egypt prior to World War II. With Hitler's armies just miles away from Alexandria, Cassuto's family is split in half. They reunite in New York after the war, but Cassuto is restless there. He moves to Japan to spend eleven months of the year, virtually abandoning his wife and children in the U.S. while he pursues his business interests and a life-long love affair with Japanese culture. Seventeen years after his death, his grandson has constructed a poetic and emotional jigsaw puzzle out of the voluminous memorabilia of his grandfather's life story. What emerges is a curious legacy -- admiration and love from Cassuto's Japanese business associates; resentment from his family. Depending on who you ask, Cassuto was either a romantic adventurer or a shirker of family responsibility; a man at the center of historic events or a nobody."--Director's Website. 000710601 538__ $$aDVD, NTSC. 000710601 546__ $$aIn English with optional English, French and Spanish subtitles. 000710601 60010 $$aCassuto, Joseph,$$d1905-1974. 000710601 650_0 $$aJews$$zEgypt$$vBiography. 000710601 650_0 $$aCotton trade$$zJapan$$xHistory. 000710601 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 000710601 655_7 $$aBiographical films.$$2lcgft 000710601 655_7 $$aFeature films.$$2lcgft 000710601 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 000710601 7001_ $$aBerliner, Alan.$$4pro$$4drt$$4cng$$4flm 000710601 7102_ $$aLorber HT Digital. 000710601 74002 $$aMyth in the electric age. 000710601 830_0 $$aAlan Berliner collection. 000710601 85200 $$bdvd$$hE184.37.C38$$iI58$$i2009 000710601 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:710601$$pGLOBAL_SET 000710601 980__ $$aBIB 000710601 980__ $$aDVD
