But just before Passover, a series of mishaps and a lovers\u2019 quarrel exile the heartbroken Ruben back to Paris and his zany family\u2014including Almodovar goddess Carmen Maura (WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF\u00a0 NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, VOLVER, THE WOMEN ON THE 6TH FLOOR) as his ditzy mom, and Truffaut regular Jean-Fran\u00e7ois St\u00e9venin as his lothario father. Scripted by director Mikael Buch and renowned arthouse auteur Christophe Honor\u00e9 (LOVE SONGS), LET MY PEOPLE GO both celebrates and upends Jewish and gay stereotypes with wit, gusto and style to spare. The result is deeply heartwarming, fabulously kitschy and hysterically funny.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/kinonow.com\/film\/let-my-people-go\/5cfd9292620dd2efe7966747\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LET MY PEOPLE GO! | 2013\u00a0 &#8211; 88&#8242; &#8211; Comedy &#8211; Co-Written by Mikael Buch and Christophe Honor\u00e9.
