Levy, Dani (dir.). Alles auf Zucker! (X Verleih, 2004)

Terrific film comedy for introducing students to Jewishness in contemporary Germany. Levy plays with stereotypes and assumptions, as well as with the awkwardness experienced by Jews and non-Jews when dealing with questions of faith and observance in contemporary culture. Levy combines this portrayal with a satire on Ostalgie, on fragile masculinity and on East/West identity stereotypes. A great film to put on your ‘post-GDR’ course to widen the range of discussion.
