- Citazioni
Motti: There's a very clear scheme of life for Jewish men: we are born, get circumcised on the eighth day, have our Bar Mitzvah at the age of thirteen, and later we marry a Jewish woman who is as pious as we are. And then it's time to make babies, one after another. And in between, we work and pray, become grandfathers and great-grandfathers until, one day, we die, and the soul becomes bound up in the eternal bundle of life. So it is written. Everything nicely laid out, whether you like it or not.

Mordechai Wolkenbruch, Motti, (played radiantly and nebbishly by Joel Basman), is trying to find his way in life, but his overbearing mother, (Inge Maux), has one thing on her mind: to marry Motti off to a nice Orthodox Jewish woman. She set him up on ten arranged dates through the Shidduch process, which proves to be disappointing and infuriating to Motti.
In a college class, Motti meets a beautiful, lively shiksa, (a non-Jew), called Laura who boldly pursues Motti, which puts him in stark conflict with the wishes of his mother. In order to set him on the right path, the family rabbi recommends a trip to Israel so that Mordachei might meet a woman to fall in love with there, but that trip does not have the intended outcome. While in Israel, Motti stays with some people who are part of a new age Om Shalom cult -- these scenes are some of the best in the film.
The characters are comedically exaggerated. Sunnyi Melles plays wealthy, terminally ill business client, Mrs. Silberzweig, who reads Motti's Tarot cards in an amusing tragic-comedic way. It is a wonderful cast.
When the Yiddish version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah played, I thought I would plotz.
I saw this on Netflix. I recommend watching it with subtitles rather than overdubbing if you're not a German speaker.
