''Jewboy'' is a 2005 Australian film directed by Tony Krawitz. The film stars Ewen Leslie, Chris Hayward, Saskia Burmeister, and Nicholas Eadie. It won the 2005 Australian Film Institute Awards for Best Short Fiction Film, Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay in a Short. The film tells of a young Orthodox Jewish man's struggle after the death of his father. The young man returns from Israel to find that he would prefer to leave Orthodoxy, and departs from his remaining family to become a taxi driver. He gradually assimilates into secular life, soon finding himself tempted to fornicate. The film appears to mimic the story of the Prodigal Son, with the main character appearing to reconsider Orthodox life at the end of the film by reuniting with his family. The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Jewboy )〕 as well as in official selection in the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. After the presentation, Tony Krawitz, the Jewish director, and Ewen Leslie (who is not Jewish) responded to various questions, claiming that the title was not meant to be offensive, and the film had been prescreened by a Jewish audience to positive reviews. ==Cast== * Ewen Leslie – Yuri * Naomi Wilson – Minnie * Saskia Burmeister – Rivka * Leah Vandenberg – Sarita * Nicholas Eadie – Isaac * Chris Haywood – Sam * Nathan Besser – Alon * Alice McConnell – Cheryl * Nicholas Calafato – Jew Boy * Kelly Butler – Woman in Taxi * Alan Flower – STA Passenger * Richard Green – Gary * Jake Stone – Yossi * Sky Tse – Chinese Man * Adam Rosenberg – Dovid * Shivani Dewan – Nina 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jewboy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
