American Stories
Belgian director Chantal Akerman avoids her usual "real time" technique in Histoires d'Amérique.

This informal history of Jewish life over the past 100 years is related in a series of eyewitness accounts, re-created by a group of largely unknown actors. Also known as American Stories, the Belgian/French Histoires d'Amérique began building an audience when it was shown at the Berlin Film Festival.
