Theo Decker (Ansel Elgort) was only 13 when his mother died in a museum bombing, sending him on an odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day: a priceless painting of a bird chained to its perch, The Goldfinch.

The Goldfinch comes to Haifa directly from its world premiere at the Toronto Festival. John Crowley’s new film is a star-studded adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Donna Tartt.

Filmography:  Brooklyn (2015), Boy A (2007), Intermission (2003).
