	Review: Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran
		Monsieur Ibrahim is an observant, thoughtful man, whose insight and depth of feeling are the fruits of a long life of hard work and careful study, that is now winding to a close.
		He embezzles money from the household accounts to pay for his sexual initiation with a sympathetic young prostitute, and with some off-hand advice from Monsieur Ibrahim, learns to drop some of his guardedness and defensiveness enough to be able to begin to form a relationship with his neighbor.
		In the face of the emotional aridity and sterility of Momo's upbringing, Monsieur Ibrahim gently sows the seeds of respect, self-worth and affection.

		Vivant seul avec son père dépressif, Moïse se rend chaque jour chez monsieur Ibrahim; celui-ci, assis derrière le comptoir de son épicerie, observe discrètement son entourage.
		Momo est un jeune adolescent juif qui vit avec un père dépressif qui le laisse carrément à l'abandon.
		Un jour, Momo sera sèchement abandonné par son père et cherchera désespérément de l'aide qu'il trouvera derrière le comptoir de l'épicier du coin.

		Monsieur Ibrahim is about people interacting as people, not symbols (one reason, Sharif has said, he took the role was to help his grandchildren's generation understand that idea).
		The titular role of Monsieur Ibrahim is not a terribly taxing one, but Sharif effortlessly demonstrates that he still has the stuff that made him a star so many years ago – he exudes a charismatic appeal that is apparently timeless.
		Among the lessons that Monsieur Ibrahim conveys to Moses, and the most appealing aspect of the film, is to delight in sensual pleasure.

	Montreal Mirror - Film : Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran
		Thus Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran is being touted as a welcome sentimental comeback for Sharif.
		Ibrahim is one of those sweet old men, full of charm and infinite wisdom, the kind who only exists in movies as sentimental as this one.
		Ibrahim is soon dispensing vital life lessons, including bits and pieces of the Coran; the film indicates that, their friendship born of innocence, their differences (one being Jewish the other Muslim) are essentially meaningless.

		At the same time, he remains a child, utterly unable to resist his urge to toss a glass of water on his red-haired neighbor, Myriam (Lola Naynmark), practicing the latest dance steps in the alleyway between their homes.
		Taking Momo's point of view, Monsieur Ibrahim portrays women as ranging between two limited "types." While he is enchanted by the gentle, but by-definition detached, working girls (a category that might include The Star as well), he is repeatedly disappointed by the self-centered everyday sorts who appear to reject poor Momo out of hand.
		Together, they travel to Turkey, where Ibrahim imparts more life lessons, including an appreciation of the joy and sensual logic of dancing (this demonstrated by a trip to a temple, where they observe a group of whirling dervishes).

		Monsieur Ibrahim se serait appelé Joseph, Lee, ou machin chouette, il aurait été juif, bouddhiste, hindou ou athée le résultat aurait été semblable.
		Monsieur Ibrahim apporte réconfort à un enfant qui ne peut compter que sur lui-même. Le père, présent mais absent (on pourrait demander à Guy Corneau ce qu'il en pense) plongé dans une grande dépression (aux yeux de Momo être Juif équivaut à être déprimé toute la journée) est incapable d'assumer son rôle.

		Set in 1960s Paris, Monsieur Ibrahim et les Fleurs du Coran revolves around Momo (Pierre Boulanger), a young man who lives alone with his father in the bustling Rue Bleu district.

	Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran - Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt
		Monsieur Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Koran is a dramatic monologue, but it reads readily like a dialogue-heavy novella.
		Monsieur Ibrahim knows, but instead of confronting him eventually advises him how he might better makes his francs last (basically by substituting cheaper goods for Dad's wine, coffee, and food).
		Monsieur Ibrahim is known as "l'Arabe de la rue", the local Arab, but he's not, in fact, an Arab: he's from the Golden Crescent (Turkish, probably, or perhaps Persian).

		This immediately marks the old man out as a sage and a wise man, perhaps some kind of shaman, to whom Momo subsequently turns in all the troubles of his teenage life, which his father is unable or unwilling to help him with.
		This is because, I take it, the focus is always on Ibrahim’s gentle friendship and wise words of counsel.
		Ibrahim’s favorite catch-phrase is: "I only know what’s in my Koran." As this seems to be meant to signify his simplicity and spirituality, it seems curious, to say the least, that the movie itself doesn’t show the slightest interest in what is in his Koran.

		Monsieur Ibrahim (the American distributors have left out the "flowers of the Koran") is from a novel that was made into a play by a popular writer named Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt.
		Ibrahim adopts Momo, buys a red sports car for cash, and drives through Greece and Albania to Turkey and his ancient home, where he leaves Momo by the road to go ahead, crashes the car, and dies in a house stacked full of kilims.
		Mr Ibrahim made it quite clear that his wisdom does not come from the Koran, but from life, he was a half-literate man, he led a secluded life, he attended no prayers, he did not speak of the Prophet or whoever.

		"Monsieur Ibrahim" opens with a shot of white-polka dots on a green dress, worn by one of the African prostitutes languidly strolling up and down her sidewalk pitch.
		When Ibrahim turns his gaze on Momo, the boy who makes a habit of coming in to his shop for food and pinching a can or two while he's at it, there's nothing there but kindness and a deep understanding.
		Ibrahim then treats them both to a road trip to Turkey, his birthplace, spending his life-savings on a sportscar (like the one the film starlet was riding) to do it.

		The Paris demimonde of the early 1960s comes to Technicolor life in Francois Dupeyron's Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran, a gentle coming-of-age drama about Moises (Pierre Boulanger), a Jewish teenager growing up among the prostitutes and down-and-out in his red-light district neighborhood.
		When his depressed father abandons the boy and then commits suicide, elderly Muslim shopkeeper Monsieur Ibrahim (Omar Sharif) steps in, becoming the only truly paternal figure Moises — now dubbed "Momo" by his new dad — has ever known.

		A sweet and saucy coming-of-age film, Monsieur Ibrahim is also perhaps the most daring political film I've seen in a while, even though it remains resolutely non-political.
		When his father loses his job, leaves Moses to look for work and eventually throws himself under a train, it is the shopkeeper (his name is in the title, but I don't believe it's ever used in the film) who takes the boy into his heart and helps his grow up.
