Liberty Heights

You're Only Young Once, But You Remember Forever.

Acclaimed filmmaker Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Homicide: Life On The Street) returns to his hometown of Baltimore, the setting of his Diner, Avalon, Tin Men and Homicide. The result is Liberty Heights, a warmly funny, semi-autobiographical tale told with an uncompromising eye for period detail and an eye-filling scale that includes 4,000 extras. The year is 1954, a season of dramatic social flux that Levinson explores through the eyes of Jewish family, the Kurtzmans (Adrien Brody, Ben Foster, Joe Mantegna, Bebe Neuwirth). Friendship, romance, rock 'n' roll, courage, racism, Cadillacs, Halloween (Should a nice Jewish boy dress up as Hitler?): the times are indeed changing. The Kurtzmans -- and America -- will never be the same.
