<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 2024 – 110′ – Comedy. The \u201cnice Jewish boy\u201d in question is 27-year-old Ruben Bellisha, who lives with his mother, Giselle, in the projects outside of Paris. Once a bustling Jewish community, the neighborhood has now become much more diverse \u2014 a fact Giselle is not thrilled about. The local synagogue has already closed and now the last Kosher grocer is going out of business. While they may be the last Jews living there, bumbling, nerdy Bellisha, a compulsive liar (albeit a very entertaining one), continually makes up stories to hide the truth and placate his traditional mother. And while she keeps saying they have to move away, she never quite finishes packing their moving cartons. Seasoned screenwriter\u00a0No\u00e9 Debr\u00e9\u00a0makes his directorial debut with this gentle, slightly wacky comedy that stages various shades of racism and anti-Semitism, as well as compassion and mutual respect, with the lightest of touches. But the heart of his film resides in a son\u2019s devotion to his beloved mother. It goes without saying that the sublime Agn\u00e8s Jaoui is nothing short of magnificent in that role.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n A NICE JEWISH BOY | 2024 – 110′ – Comedy.
