Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times 08/07/2009
4/5
Being Jewish in France makes exceptionally good use of vintage photographs and film clips in telling its story, and in fact won an award for best utilization of archival footage. It also boasts an especially varied and articulate group of talking heads. Go to Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety 05/14/2009

06/04/2009 Overlong at three hours, this film is an exhaustive history of France's relations w/ Jews since the Dreyfus affair in the 1890s. Some of the events were new to me and it's a thoroughly shocking chronicle. The film includes the current rise of anti-Semitism and has superlative testimony of witnesses and fascinating archival film. I saw it at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, March 19, 2009.
