Watch It Is No Dream: The Life of Theodor Herzl Movie Online No Survey


Narrated by Sir Ben Kingsley and featuring Christoph Waltz as the voice of Theodor Herzl, the film examines how Herzl, a well known journalist and playwright, an assimilated Budapest born Jew, horrified by the Dreyfus trial in Paris and the anti-Semitism he saw spreading across Europe, took upon himself the task of attempting to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine against all odds. Over the span of 8 years, Herzl organized and led a worldwide political movement that within 50 years led to the establishment of the state of Israel. The film follows Herzl as he meets with Kings, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors, a Sultan, a Pope and government ministers from Constantinople to St. Petersburg, from Paris to Berlin, from Vienna to Vilna in his quest to build a Jewish nation. -- (C) Official Site

Review For It Is No Dream: The Life of Theodor Herzl

Richard Trank's film is sober, detailed, and handsomely mounted. Ben Kingsley narrates, to excellent effect.
Mark Feeney-Boston Globe

Although director Trank is an Oscar winner for the documentary "The Long Way Home," some of the choices made here are awkward.
Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times

"It Is No Dream" satisfies neither as a movie nor as a history lesson.
Rachel Saltz-New York Times

Well-crafted doc offers a scholarly account of the birth of Herzl's Zionist movement.
John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter

Helmer Trank deserves kudos for trying to convey this complicated history with primary materials.
Alissa Simon-Variety

The film doesn't exactly sizzle, but it does manage to provide a straightforward (if perspective-challenged) biographical sketch of a major historical figure.
Andrew Schenker-Village Voice

A blow by blow, thoroughly researched rendering of the Hungarian secular journalist's instrumental part in taking Zionism from the theoretical to the actual.
Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com

An epic, even Biblical story, brought down to Ken Burns size in this lackluster telling.
Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix

A straight-forward documentary about the life and work of the visionary known as the father of the modern state of Israel.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice

The bottom line is that Herzl was an absolutely fascinating man, and he proves to be a most compelling character this excellent film.
Jennifer Merin-About.com

Offers at least one way to couch propaganda in a way that doesn't seem like the genuine article on the face of it.
Kenji Fujishima-Slant Magazine

This documentary of the life of Theodore Herzl is full of information and at the same time is disappointingly dry and un-engaging.
Mark R. Leeper-Mark Leeper's Reviews

Anyone with a deep interest in Jewish history will appreciate this intelligent and well-produced endeavor.
Phil Hall-Film Threat
