“… so overwhelming, it shouldn't be missed by anyone. Mix in sex, spice, Chaplin, Saddam, belly dancing, a Seder and a little of Romeo and Juliet and you might start getting a flavor for this film that will challenge, make you laugh out loud, and get a glimpse into the human forces that are shaping our times… “
