"A movie with wit, warmth, andiunabashed emotion." - Claudia Puig, USA Today
Some people collect stamps, cigar bands or teacups. Jonathan saves memories of family: photos, cards, false teeth, handfuls of dirt - all sealed in individual bags and mounted on a wall. Now Jonathan seeks a more elusive memory. He'll journey to the Ukraine to find the woman who saved his grandfather from the Nazis in 1942.
Liev Schreiber (Scream, RKO 281) makes his debut on the other side of the camera, directing and adapting (from Jonathan Safran Foer's novel) an affecting road movie. Elijah Wood stars as buttoned-up Jonathan, and Eugene Hutz plays his language-battering Ukrainian guide. Join them as cultures clash...and as the road leads where they want to go yet never expected. They, and you, will emerge illuminated.

An unexpectedly powerful film - 4.75 out of 5 (3/21/2006)
Liev Schreiber directs a highly comedic but emotionally compelling film about "The Collector", a twenty-something Jewish guy who wants to find a town in the Ukraine. The hilarious Ukrainians he hires to help him have their own stories, and the film examines events haunting all three characters, and introduces new characters during their trek through the Ukranian countrside. The film's look is vivid and naturalistic, the acting performances are top-notch, the music is evocative and well-chosen, a
