By Anna Heledd<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As someone who ravishes in learning about cultures so distant from my own, I was very eager to watch Netflix’s Unorthodox<\/em> upon its release. Adapted from a Deborah Feldman’s 2012 memoir, \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffUnorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots’<\/em>, the show follows the devastating yet empowering tale of 19 year old Esty Shapiro (Shira Haas); a Hasidic Jewish woman on the journey to find her own voice and identity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story begins with our heroine Esty fleeing her\ndysfunctional family, unequal marriage and her Satmar Jewish community in\nWilliamsburg, New York, to Berlin. It is here her journey slowly begins to\nunfold when she befriends a group of music student from a very prestigious\nschool. They are modern and progressive; to a degree that might appear very\nblas\u251c\u00ae at some points. It is interesting to watch her slowly become herself, and\ntalk about her community from home, even if it is in an apprehensive manner. Still,\nEtsy learns a lot about acceptance and tolerance through the people she meets\nalong the way;  befriending a gay couple,\nand an Israeli woman who teaches her to challenge some of the beliefs of her\nreligion in regards to the status of woman in the Satmar Jewish community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unravelling itself through flashbacks, Etsy’s past\nincredibly juxtaposes the new sense of freedom she found in Germany, whilst\nstill demonstrating her resilience and courage all throughout her daily\nstruggles in a space where she is not seen or heard. Not only is her privacy\nconstantly invaded by her entire community but her overbearing mother in-law\nessentially tries to strip Esty of her identity. Reinforcing toxic and\ntraditional religious beliefs, she reminds Esty that “a man should be treated\nlike a king” by his wife; scolding her for not being able sexually satisfy\nYanky (Amit Rahav), when in fact she is suffering from a painful condition\ncalled vaginismus. However, her sexual experiences in Germany release her from\nall of these issues. Through Robert (Aaron Altaras), a student at the academy,\nEtsy is given the liberation to blossom from organic romantic chemistry that is\npassionate and innocent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the filming in New York, to Berlin, the cinematography acts as the perfect canvas to tell Esty’s story. Her wedding New York is absolutely beautiful, effectively showing one of the most important parts of Jewish culture for a woman. Additionally, all the events surrounding the ceremony, be it Esty shaving her head, or performing the ritual bath are beautifully centred around Esty and her sole experience of it all. Scenes prior to Berlin are very calm colours, expressed in the warm Earth tones of the buildings. The muted background makes the characters, and their religious garments, stick out immensely. Our focus is entirely on how the religion is leading the characters’ lives. Upon arrival to Berlin, however, this all changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Esty is reborn in one of the most important scenes of the show at the beach on her first day in Berlin where she takes off her wig. The sun radiates and makes the scene hazy. As Esty walks into the water and embraces her new life free of her community, leaving her old one behind under the shallows of the sea<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But like any good drama, the stakes must be raised. In just\nfour episodes, the show was a roller coaster emotion of defeat, happiness but\nmost importantly hope.  Just as Esty\nstarts settling in Berlin and adjusting to her new life, her husband Yanky and\nhis brutish cousin hunt her down and arrive with a set plan to bring her back\nto the community in Williamsburg. Upon discovering that Esty might be pregnant\nwith his child, there is a certain type of sympathy we feel for Yanky when they\nfinally confront each other. Their relationship is complicated, but ultimately,\nthe bond that they share is hard to ignore. Perfectly shown in the touching scene\nof their reunion in the hotel room, where Yanky cuts off his ringlets (or payots)\nso she and their unborn baby can return to Williamsburg. In this scene, Yanky\nproves to be na\u251c\u00bbve, and we are left unsure of whether he wants her back to love\nher, or to live the life that their religion prescribes them. It is clear that\nhe has been so heavily under the influence of his superiors, that the character\nhimself is desperate to live his life by what others expect of him. Yanky lives\ncomfortable under the restrictive guidelines of his community, guided\ncompletely by his mother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Unorthodox<\/em> is the first Yiddish Netflix limited series to be made. This is monumental in representing communities that are usually hidden away from the Western gaze. The writers and producers took replicating the community incredibly seriously, according to the documentary discussing the behind the scenes research that went into it. They hired Jewish staff who were specialists on the community as experts and recreated the religious garments to the closest and most accurate details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • \"\"<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      However, this show did not come without its criticisms. Some\nbelieved that the representation of the Satmar Hasidic community was inaccurate\nand hurtful. Although this series is based off of Feldman’s memoir, she claimed\nthat she strayed from replicating her own story, as she wanted to portray the\ncommon pattern which she saw when interviewing hundreds of other women who had\nleft the community. Criticism came from people such as Gitty Weiss, a therapist\nin the Hasidic community, who claimed that the series interprets the followers\nof the religion as \u00d4\u00c7\u00ff’lifeless” and \u00d4\u00c7\u00ff’oppressed”. She argues that ultimately,\nat the time where there is so much anti-Semitism, it’s a \u00d4\u00c7\u00ff’slap in the face”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Though it is important to note that Feldman had no role on the production of the show, apart from assisting some scenes. The writer’s own experience was very loosely connected to the creation of the show.
      Despite the backlash the show has faced, Unorthodox<\/em> is ultimately a thrilling story of rebellion and freedom. It is a story that teaches you how to be human. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
