Grandes Personnalités du Peuple Juif


When Rachel (Carmen Maura) is in the hospital after her asthma attack at the Golda Meir Fitness Center, she's reading a huge, thick hardback book, with a purple cover, titled Grandes Personnalités du Peuple Juif, which means something like Great Celebrities of the Jewish People. There seems to be a picture of Freud, among others, on the cover. It looks like a textbook.

I can't find any mention of that book anywhere online. Has anyone ever heard of it? I can't see an author's name on the cover.

It's funny that that's what she'd be reading after nearly dying, and it's nice to think that they made it up just for this movie, but it seems like a stretch for something that appears so briefly. The sets and set decoration in this movie are fantastic, though, so I shouldn't be surprised if they did go to such trouble for such a tiny detail.
