Sweet and nostalgic.
“Avalon” is a heart-felt story from Barry Levinson that was apparently inspired by his own childhood, growing up in the Avalon area of Baltimore during the 1940s-50s. It takes place during two years, from Thanksgiving, 1948 through the early 50s (with a bit later at the very end) in the lives of the Krichinsky family. This film is very much unlike most movies in that instead of telling a complete traditional story with a clear beginning, middle and end, it’s much more a slice of life…when an emphasis on personalities and people as opposed to action and suspense. It also emphasizes nostalgia and family as opposed to a typical Hollywood production. Some may not like this, but I really enjoyed and appreciated watching “Avalon”. And, as a history teacher, it’s a great lesson about the immigrants’ experiences.By the way, I don’t think it’s coincidental that a year after Levinson’s film, Gary David Goldberg brought out the short-lived television show, “Brooklyn Bridge”. There are some changes, but the Jewish grandparents in this one look and act like clones of the grandparents in the film…identical as you can make them. The family dynamics, though a bit different, aren’t THAT different. There even was an episode on “Brooklyn Bridge” that mirrored “Avalon” where the family faces dealing with a European relative who survived the Holocaust and just made it to post-war America. The only real obvious difference is that “Brooklyn Bridge” occasionally emphasized humor more than “Avalon”, though there were plenty of serious episodes as well.
Overall, an exceptional film that led to a truly exceptional television series…neither of which is to be missed.
