| Friendships, like marriages, can last "'til death do us part." Ivan Menchel's bittersweet comedy The Cemetery Club. Esther Moskowitz (Ellen Burstyn), Doris Silverman (Olympia Dukakis), and Lucille Rubin (Diane Ladd) are three aging, Jewish best friends. When we meet them in a short prologue, they are all married. Four years later, they're widows. Most recently bereaved, and taking her husband's death the hardest, is Esther. Then, one day at the cemetery, she meets Ben Katz (Danny Aiello) by the grave of his late wife. Together, after an uncertain period of getting to know one another, they begin exploring what love can be like the second time around. This is the story of three Pittsburgh widows who gather once a month to visit their husband's graves. Their friendship becomes strained when one of them starts dating. |
