Ils sont partout

I thought this was a great film. I do emphatically disagree that one needs to be Jewish to appreciate the film. In fact the same types of stereotypes exist against minority communities everywhere. One could make this film about Greeks in Turkey, Israeli stereotypes against Palestinians living in Israel, Koreans living in Japan and scores and scores of other examples.

Overall I was bored while watching this movie. Several short stories make up the film and a couple of them were humorous. Most of them were heavy and somewhat dark. Dany Boon was terrific as always and Charlotte Gainsbourg was magnetic. I didn't really enjoy this movie but I was curious enough about what would happen that I watched through to the end.

It helps if you're already familiar with some of the religious and cultural themes - and have a thick skin - some of this stuff is so funny it's gotta be offending somebody somewhere

I thought this was intelligently made for a comedy, most of them today being full of many cliches and over acting for easy laughs.

I don't see many French/Euro comedies but for comparison I liked this more than Look Who's Back, the German film about Hitler. The acting and directing are not as obvious as that film.

Most of the cast, between 7-10 of them, put on a good performance. They also manage to avoid the Annoyance Factor with movies about 'us minorities' and how everyone misjudges us. This is clever in that regard because most film makers do that terribly and attract the ire of a mainly right wing crowd who wince at the political correctness.

Yvan Attal must be commended because this isn't PC; it goes into the depths of irrational thinking about 'background' without hitting people over the head with the anti-semetism diatribe. But it is primarily quite a hilarious movie.

Ils Sont Partout is quite an entertaining movie. I don't watch a lot of French cinema but I watch it enough to recognize some of the actress/actors in this film.

I would understand, this film might be more interesting (and funnier) if you're Jewish. As a Muslim, living in the anti-Jewish Muslim world, this film explains to me the culture, the tradition and the struggle of the Jewish community faced, and it been laid out brilliantly.

I could not finish it at one shot watching it. I have to continue the next day because it is quite long, but this film is brilliant if you are into short film or if you want to learn other culture.
