On the Yard / A Walk on the Moon Blu-ray Movie Review
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman December 13, 2022If the name Raphael D. Silver rings any (silver?) bells at all for film fans, it may be in his role as producer for his wife Joan Micklin Silver's films Hester Street, Crossing Delancey, Between the Lines and the recently reviewed (and to my point of view criminally underrated) A Fish in the Bathtub. Silver (this one, not his spouse) also did rack up two directing credits, and Cohen Media Group, which has released several of Joan Micklin Silver's films on Blu-ray (including a couple that I just linked to) is now releasing that pair together on one disc, which may help to remedy a certain anonymity that cloaked the name of Raphael D. Silver. Both of the films in this set are low key character dramas in unusual settings, and they have the same attention to character detail that is often found in the films of Joan Micklin Silver.
