Film Review by Samuel Bernstein, West Hollywood, California

He is nursing his stylish but aggravating mother, juggling two lovers, meeting his Orthodox Jewish young son for the first time, recording an album, getting ready for an American tour, and is €13,000 overdrawn at the bank.

He lives in Château Rouge, a mostly African neighborhood in the center of Paris, mixing easily with his neighbors. His straightforwardness with people from very diverse walks of life, is the leitmotifof the entire film.

This isn't so much a story of clashing cultures, as it is of individuals who treat most of their differences as a given. Most. But not all. Welcoming a gay Arab ->-bleeped-<- into the family might be a step beyond everyone's comfort level, including Simon's.
