In "Papirosen," the Argentine filmmaker Gastón Solnicki trains his camera on four generations of his wildly volatile Jewish family, folding 10 years of modern footage into a visual collage that covers more than half a century. Instead of a dignified stroll down genealogy lane, Mr. Solnicki has made a sparking, gossipy soap opera that's riddled with emotion and stuffed with strong characters.
