Ezer Kenegdo (2017): cast, story & where to watch
2017 · Film
Released in 2017, Ezer Kenegdo is a notable film directed by Daniel Kremer, running about 101 minutes. “A friendship at odds with history, and two histories at odds with a friendship.” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. Frictions develop when Yisroel "Izzy" Jonigkeyt, a Chassidic Jew from Crown Heights, travels to San Francisco to visit Polish-born Catholic friend Marek Wisniewski with the intent of discovering why a Bay Area art-world iconoclast named Harry Kierk seeks to destroy a lifetime's worth of his own work. As the visit progresses, Izzy and Marek discover for the first time that complex historical baggage impinges on their curious friendship and, soon, they begin to understand why Kierk is driven towards destruction. Continued encounters with Marek's vaguely anti-Semitic cousin Irek (who is their only gateway to contact Kierk) only compound these tensions.
Who’s in it. Ezer Kenegdo stars Daniel Kremer as Izzy Jonigkeyt, Deniz Demirer as Marek Wisniewski, Rob Nilsson as Harry Kierk and Josh Safdie as Levi, among others.
