Críticas:

Film Quarterly" Los Angeles Times Book Review" Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter" "Bridge of Light, J. Hoberman's beautifully mounted and superbly researched survey of the entire range of Yiddish filmmaking, is not simply a study of a small corpus of often interesting films, but a tribute, indeed a monument, to a world lost forever in the ashes of history."-- "Film Quarterly" "Prodigiously researched and critically astute, this is a readable work of scholarship that takes a well-earned place as the most authoritative word on a curious corner of film history."-- "Los Angeles Times Book Review" "J. Hoberman's classic 1991 work on Yiddish film remains essential, enhanced by a new foreword, final chapter and a DVD of the documentary film The Yiddish Cinema. This excellent, engaging book is required reading for anyone interested in Yiddish and Jewish film and theater. It is sophisticated and accessible, providing a comprehensive overview of Yiddish film and its social and artistic context. Hoberman's detailed research and rich commentaries are accompanied by wonderful pictures."-- "Association of Jewish Libraries Newsletter" J.
