Gerber, Peter Jacobson, Michael Stuhlbarg<br \/>\nScreened at: Critics\u2019 link, NYC, 6\/2\/20<br \/>\nOpens: June 19, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I taught a drama class in an urban high school, I won a grant that would enable students interested in acting to be graced by a few lessons from teachers at New York\u2019s prestigious Juilliard School.  The lessons would take place in the school auditorium with twenty students participating, no audience in the 800 seats.  Each time I observed the classes, I noted that the instructors put emphasis on body movements, in the service of loosening the emotions of the performers and enabling them to express their inner selves not through words but through movement.  The movements of these seventeen-year-olds, as lithe and full of energy as teens could be, would not duplicate what goes on in the Juilliard School\u2019s drama division.  In this brief documentary, director Rauzar Alexander in his freshman project gives us a rare look at some of the classes that took place in the school\u2019s four-year drama program.  The aim is to look in awe at the talent of Moni Yakim, a founding member of the school since the 1970s, with some insight into why the students love him.  And you can see that affection daily as they laugh at his mild jokes (in on introductory class he asks for the students\u2019 names because \u201cI forgot them,\u201d then adding \u201cYou all know my first name, but I forgot it. -Laughter)<\/p>\n<p>Moni Yakim, who was born in Jerusalem, got a start not as a teacher but as a performer himself, taking part in classics like Shakespeare\u2019s \u201cA Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream\u201d and George Bernard Shaw\u2019s \u201cArms and the Man,\u201d but this background did not become a major part of the film, though some interesting archival film of Jerusalem especially at the time of Israeli independence in 1948 makes an impression.<\/p>\n<p>Moni\u2019s heroes are \u00c9tienne Decroux, who created mime, and Stella Adler, who believed that actors must master techniques beyond their own knowledge and experience in order to portray a variety of characters.  Moni gives over much of his teaching time to having his gifted young actors imitate mime, but spends most of the class time in getting them to twist their bodies every which way\u2014the gymnastics forming the main interest of the movie.  In one class he has the students yell gibberish, in another to crawl on the floor like commandoes on D-Day.  \u201cThe more you free the body, the freer the imagination is to go wherever it needs to go,\u201d he insists.  <\/p>\n<p>The doc does not make clear whether the students go to another studio in the school to learn to project their voices and to do other verbal work that actors are required to perform, so the impression is that Moni puts 90% of his energy into the physical work.  He takes students beginning in their second year, his wife Mina dealing with the lucky freshmen.  Not mentioned is that the Juilliard acting division goes through at least 1800 applicants yearly, takes 40 or 50 who try out, and selects only eighteen.  Take that, Harvard and MIT with their generous 4% selection rate.<\/p>\n<p>Interviews with proud alumni include Jessica Chastain, Michael Stuhlbarg, Oscar Isaac, Kevin Kline, Laura Linney and Anthony Mackie.  Watch particularly former student Alex Sharp who went on to win a best actor Tony for his lead role in \u201cThe Curious Incident of the Dog at Night-Time.\u201d  We documentary-loving viewers saw the lad when he was working in Moni\u2019s class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>75 minutes.  \u00a9 2020 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Story \u2013 B<br \/>\nActing \u2013 B+<br \/>\nTechnical \u2013 B<br \/>\nOverall \u2013 B<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CREATING A CHARACTER: THE MONI YAKIM LEGACY Reviewed for Shockya.com &#038; BigAppleReviews.net linked from Rotten Tomatoes by: Harvey Karten Director: Rauzar Alexander Screenwriter: Rauzar Alexander Cast: Moni Yakim, Laura Linney, Michael Urie, Jessica Chastain, Oscar Isaac, Anthony Mackie, Alex Sharp, Kevin Kline, Mina Yakim, Charles E.
