Smart, adult and honest with an exquisite music score, Arthur Newman is not a sappy movie, or a story of wisdom swathed in gauze.
Eran Riklis' beautifully crafted, touching films create within their audience a need to do better. His latest, Zaytoun, was named as a runner up for the Audience Choice Award at this year's Toronto International Film Festival. I caught up with Riklis in Toronto.
