Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran (2003)

English title: Monsieur Ibrahim.

Synopsis: A Jewish boy living in Paris makes friends with a Muslim store-owner.

Appraisal: I have the feeling that tolerance for banality has become boundless in today's cinema. Otherwise there would be no explanation for this (and for many of the films released in the past 5 years which I have seen). Don't get me wrong, it is not an unbearable film; there is nothing offensive about it: it is warm-hearted, and even visually pleasing. Maybe this is all it takes to satisfy modern viewers?

Rating: 34
