Eastern and Western culture collide in this poetic tale of infatuation and self discovery.

In this sequel to the huge hit "La vérité si je mens", we're back to the little Jewish community of the Sentier, a Parisian district specialised in textiles. While the first movie focussed on the sentimental and comedic adventures of Eddie (a goy trying to pass for a Jew though totally ignorant of Jewish traditions), the sequel is more about Eddie's friends, a colorful bunch of fast-talking, hot-tempered entrepreneurs who love nothing more than fast cars, fast women, glittering watches and flashy clothes. For the millions of people who saw the first episode, there's little new here : the same (or almost) characters return to their well-oiled roles and punchlines. Still, it's a better sequel than most. First, it has a story that is appropriate to our times: the little Davids of the Sentier are fighting a giant Goliath - a big supermarket chain, and their final vengeance is fun and inventive. Second, there's more room for detail and character definition. Particularly, José Garcia as Serge, the mythomaniac, pathetic loser of the team, is given a lot of screen time and makes a memorable impression (and, like Ben Stiller, he has a lot of hard time "Meeting the parents" !). Third, it's fast-paced and quite funny. In some way, it's hard to describe such a movie to non-French people as the community presented here cannot be found elsewhere. It is also close to impossible to translate, too, as most of the fun is in the "typical" slang (like the title itself). Here's a comparison that comes to mind : take the comedic moments of Italo-American gangster sagas (like Goodfellas or the Sopranos), keep the colorful language but replace handguns by yarmulkes !

在法国出生的兰斯，以拍摄女性肖像著称，从麦当娜到周迅，手法细腻感性而尖锐直接，游走于商业广告和艺术摄影之间，拍出挑逗人心的作品，早已成了女性情色摄影的领军人物。作品展出于世界各地，包括日韩和中国，2003年更与沙治·布朗利在中国拍摄了《上海》一书。 兰斯在香港首次举办的摄影个展，名为《粉红，正是巴黎》。展览由Louis Roederer在法国制作，并于2010年，首次在法国国家图书馆展出。 摄影展以一个貌美的神秘女子，在巴黎的下层社会访寻她的孪生姐妹，期间要经过隐蔽的大厦，穿越奇特的风景线。黑白摄影拍出城市的异常景观，普通人在自然的背景前摆出奇怪姿势，女人则衣著华丽或身穿皮革，往往予人超现实的感觉，彷如达达派大师杜象的风格：富于诱惑、耐人寻味、带有偷窥味道。摄影展还在八十幅照片中加入她为名人拍的著作肖像，如杨紫琼、黑人模特儿Naomi Campbell、意大利女星Monica Belluci和英国女星Charlotte Rampling等等。 兰斯常与作家兼电影工作者布朗利合作。布朗利小说《首原则、次原则》曾获法国联盟文学奖。这次将放映他特别拍制的电影，与展出照片相辅相成，共同讲述这个巴黎玫瑰的奇幻故事。
