La Petite Jerusalem

 

France 2005, 96 minutes
Dir. Karin Albou
In French with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

Topics: Religion.

 

Aroview: Passion must be reconciled with faith for two sisters growing impatient with family and religious boundaries, while living in the drab Parisian Jewish suburb of 'La Petite Jersalem'.

Mainly focusing on the trials of Elsa Zylberstein in finding an acceptable philisophical basis for sex and romance (with the help of the Torah and Immanuel Kant), this radiates a certain blue-stocking charm coupled with some frank erotic content. An intelligent drama, both sincere and sensual.
