He's My Girl (La folle histoire d'amour de Simon Eskenazi) by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann (France, 2009, 90 min., 35 mm). Director Jean-Jacques Zilbermann checks in on Simon and Rosalie, the stars of his Man is a Woman (1998 Festival) ten years after their marriage breaks up. Simon’s Ashkenazi mother accepts that he’s gay, but doesn’t realize that her pretty nurse is the Arab cross-dresser who steals her son’s heart. In the midst of this farce, Rosalie returns to Paris to star in Fiddler on the Roof with her new family in tow: a husband and the precocious son who Simon hasn’t seen in a decade. It’s a bit of tzimmes, or stew, of the tastiest sort. In French with English subtitles.
Discussion with the director follows screening.
