Max

About “Max”

The rags-to-riches-to-rags story of Max Britsky, a Jewish boy who at the age of twelve assumes responsibility for a family of seven—his widowed immigrant mother and his six siblings. His ambitions and joy of life lead him into the world just being created by Edison, Eastman and Lumiere: the world of movies, although both the technology and the word 'movies' lie in the future, waiting for Max to give them life.
