In Hunters, Al Pacino doesn’t wear any kind of obvious Jewish make-up when he plays Offerman (except a beard, and little glasses, and his costume, a black rabbinical suit). What he does instead is play the character really fucking Jewishly. His performative mannerisms are full of shrugs and schlemiel-faced tics, his intonation pitted with melancholic question marks.* That’s what Jewface is.
