"In a time when the world of study belonged only to men, there lived a girl called Yentl..." So begins this beautifully realised fable of lvoe and sacrifice that noy only stars, but is produced, directed and co-written by Barbra Streisand.

The setting is Eastern Europe, circa 1904, Yentl (Streisand), a smart, spirited woman, is forced to masquerade as a boy in order to pursue her love of knowledge... and discovers yet another kind of love. Mandy Patinkin gives a sensitive and forceful performance as Avigdor - Yentl's fellow student and best friend - and Amy Irving was nominated for an Oscar for her role as the demure and breathtakingly beautiful Hadass. Streisand's passion for the project shows in every frame - highlighted by the luch, Oscar-nominated art direction, stunning cinematography, and her shimmering performance of the Academy Award-winning song score.
