Rue Mandar

RUE MANDAR
Dir. Idit Cébula (95min, France, 2013)
In French with English Subtitles
Narrative 

Take
a traditional Jewish funeral whose rituals no one can quite recall. Mix
in a Yiddishkeit setting in a predominantly Sephardic Jewish community.
Add one of the most beautiful cities in the world as your location, and
top it off with a terrific ensemble cast. What you get in the assured
hands of director Idit Cébula (Two Lives Plus One), is the charmingly dramedy Rue Mandar.

Standout
performances by Emmanuelle Devos, Sandrine Kiberlain and Richard Berry
contribute to the most compelling kind of family dysfunction in this
warm and wonderful film.
