As France experiences a surge of anti-Semitism over the last decade, director Yvan Attal's irreverent slapstick comedy, The Jews, makes a concerted effort to try and debunk some of these hateful stereotypes by turning them on their heads. Linked together through scenes of Attal kvetching to a psychologist about the Jewish condition, each sketch takes its stated theme to the most absurd level possible, underlining how racial and religious prejudices are nothing short of ridiculous.
