Book Description
A grand epic from the creator of Orlando and The Tango Lesson, The Man Who Cried is a young woman's coming-of-age story set in the dangerous maelstrom of Nazi-occupied Paris. The film charts a journey that begins in the lost world of old Jewry and ends in the new world of Hollywood: a journey in which a seven-year-old girl's name and native tongue are stripped from her, causing her to retreat into silence even as she discovers her family gift for song.

Sally Potter's elegant and moving film mourns for those lost in the terrible events of the last century and celebrates those who found their voices and survived.
