Cinemagogue: Let My People Go
Temple Society of Concord

Temple Society of Concord
910 Madison St., Syracuse

A sweet and hilarious fusion of gay romantic comedy, Jewish family drama, and French bedroom farce, this film follows the travails and daydreams of the lovelorn Reuben, a French-Jewish gay mailman living in fairytale Finland with his gorgeous Nordic boyfriend. But just before Passover, a series of mishaps and a lovers' quarrel exile the heartbroken Reuben back to Paris and his zany family. Let My People Go! both celebrates and upends Jewish and gay stereotypes with wit, gusto and style to spare.
