Sono dappertutto

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.

Although it's about Jews, the satirical presentation makes any maligned group ask themselves the same question. Why do they hate us? Whether it's a redhead, a tribe, a race, you name it. If you begin to dwell on the prejudice and suffering, you will always see the 'enemy' of your group wherever you go. They are everywhere. I see some negative reviews and wonder why. I found this movie quite deep. Maybe I am shallow.

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.

Excellent understated sense of humour. Couldn't stop rolling from laughter. Not sure whether I would have enjoyed it as much if I had watched it in a proper movie theater. However watching it on cable in the comfort of my living room was definitely a winner. Some of the creative ideas in the script are so mad that I need to hold back with great effort from describing them here, to avoid including spoilers in this review

One of those rare find, you know browsing stuff to watch and baam there you are. Ils sont partous or The Jews is an extremely good movie to watch, illustrating the grating lives of Jewish people while weaving dark humour in it and at the same time maintaining coherence in the plot. Not one boring moment in it.
