The Infidel

United States 2010, 104 mins
Director: Josh Appignanesi
Starring: Omid Djalili

Meet Mahmud Nasir, loving husband, doting father and something of a 'relaxed'Muslim.

Does the 'F' word occasionally pass his lips? It's hardly worth mentioning.

Does he say his prayers five times a day? Of course! Well, usually..

Does he fast every day of Ramadan? Who's counting anyway? Mahmud may not be the most observant, but in his heart he is as Muslim as it gets.

But after his mother's death a discovery turns his world upside down.

He finds his birth certificate, which reveals that not only was he adopted at birth..

but he's Jewish, and his real name is Solly Shimshillewitz! As Mahmud tumbles headlong into a full-scale identity crisis, the only person he can turn to is Lenny, a drunken Jewish cabbie who agrees to give him lessons in Jewishness, which start with how to dance like Topol.

Oy vey.
