Bonjour Monsieur Shlomi

This lovely Israeli film is about a hyperresponsible teenager, mislabeled an idiot savant, who cares for his whacked-out family while trying to escape to a glittering future in Haifa.

"The movie's ragged charms work on you, even if you're steeped in coming-of-age storylines." -- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY

"Credit the disarming cast, especially Oshri Cohen as the boy and Arie Ellias as his eccentric grandfather. They help turn what could be a standard comedy into a life-affirming, enjoyable one." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST
