    Robin Williams was BRILLANT in these two films! We will all miss him and the joy he brought to everyone with both his wit and his acting skill.

    The movie was good, but the sound quality was poor; you could barely hear what they were saying. Even my non hearing impaired husband had difficulty. Also didnt have closed captions or a menu.

    You get a great double feature of Robin Williams. Moscow on the Hudson is one of my favorite movies. Robin brings out a great performance as a Russian musician who defects to the USA. There is drama and comedy in this film. Jakob the Liar is a very emotional and dramatic movie. Robin is extraordinary in his portrayal of a Jewish man trying to lift the spirits of his friends in the Nazi occupied ghetto. You cant beat this deal!

To combat the overwhelming depression that pervades the ghetto, Jakob invents fictitious news bulletins about Allied advances against the Nazis. These lies keep hope and humor alive among the ghetto inhabitants spirits are lifted, hearts are refreshed, and optimism is reborn. The Germans learn of the mythical radio and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it.

Though Vladimir learns that life in America can be cold and even painful, he grows to love this strange and wondrous new land.
