kitduckworth: Joan Micklin Silver’s Hester Street (1975) is such a respectful movie. My favorite detail, above: When Gitl (Carol Kane’s character: a recent Jewish immigrant to America) is chided by her husband for covering her natural hair with a traditional wig, she opts to change into a kerchief. However, the camera shifts away and only returns when she has the kerchief in place; the audience doesn’t see her natural hair until she is ready to reveal it herself, later in the film. -- source link
