Train To Zakopané
What is it that makes people hate complete strangers due to characteristics beyond their control? What is it that makes us fall in love with people we hardly know? And what do we do when these feelings coincide? These are some of the questions addressed in Henry Jaglom's Train To Zakopané, based on a real incident in the life of his father. In this film, Tanna Frederick plays the role of Katia, a Polish girl with a deep hatred of Jewish people who unwittingly falls for a Jewish man. When we connect to talk about the role, I remind her that we spoke some five years ago about Ovation and her theatre projects at the time. She laughs.
“Was that really five years ago?”
Time flies, she says, and indeed she's been extremely busy in the year since, on both stage and screen - including starring in the theatrical version.
