Would I Lie To You?
Dir: Thomas Gilou
France, 1997, 100 mins, French with English subtitles

The hit Jewish comedy that took French cinemas by storm

Jobless, broke and down and out in Paris, Eddie Vuibert is going nowhere fast. When a local fabric seller comes to his aid in a street fight, he is mistaken for being Jewish and finds his whole world turned upside down. Given a job and a home, his life couldn't be better, but when he falls for the boss's daughter Sandra, will the lie catch up with him? Set among the Sephardi Jewish garment dealers of Paris, Gilou’s film takes a comic look at religion, materialism, sexual indiscretions and male machismo. In France this film was the biggest ever box office hit for a native film.

“A welcome surprise in the landscape of French comedy” Le Monde
