Title:	Friday Foreign Film Festival
Description:	Monsieur Ibrahim March 13, 2009  7 p.m. Some crowded Parisian atmosphere and the burnished presence of Omar Sharif make this coming-of-age tale a pleasure. It's the early 1960s, and an adolescent Jewish boy, mostly left to his own devices by an ineffectual father, makes friends with the worldly wise Persian man (Sharif) who runs a small neighborhood grocery. The kid's fumbling experiences with sexual curiosity are the reliable stuff of many a French movie, but the unlikely friendship of young Jew and old Muslim make for an offbeat through-line. Francois Dupeyron's film shifts gears in its final section, moving from its flavorful location and into the wide-open spaces, and it goes on too long with too many pieces of advice. But overall this is a warm and winning experience, with Omar Sharif holding an instructive class in the power of understated movie-star charisma. --Robert Horton, www.amazon.com. Nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2004 Golden Globes.  Directed by François Dupeyron, 2003, France, 95 minutes.  In French/Turkish with English subtitles.
