The Man Who Cried

Filmmaker Sally Potter (ORLANDO) serves up a sweeping historical panorama about the early years of the 20th century with the saga of a young Jewish girl who, after being separated from her family, flees the Russian pogroms for England, where she is taken in as a foster child. Settling in France as an adult ten years later, Suzie (Christina Ricci) joins a musical troupe, where she befriends an energetic dancer (Cate Blanchett), meets an egotistical opera star (John Turturro) and falls in love with a charismatic Gypsy horseman (Johnny Depp).
