There's a new French film cycle at Rosalío Solano. The first one we saw was "Dans la vie," directed by Philippe Faucon.
Two French women from Oran, Algeria, one a Muslim:
the other a Jew:
become friends when the Muslim is hired to take care of the Jew who is confined to a wheelchair. The film explores the prejudices in both communities and French prejudice against Arabs in general.
It also answers the questions:
What is the difference between halal and kosher food?
Not much, but keep that cheese away from the meat for kosher.
What does the Imam say about a hajj paid for with wages earned from a Jew?
No problem.
In which community do the females have more fun?
The Muslims sing and dance together while they cook and they have women's day at the Turkish baths.
Before the Jew met the Muslim she was lonely, irritable, and contemplating suicide.
Wouldn't it be nice if life imitated art?
