"Just an Illusion arrives in #cinemas this week having made big money at the box office in #France. It is a warm and nostalgic crowd-pleaser centred on a #Jewish family living in the suburbs of #Paris in 1985. The primary focus is Vincent, the younger of two brothers, in the leadup to his #barmitzvah day. One is struck, when watching the #film, by what Stephen King refers to as “the ecstasy of perfect recognition”. And, as with King’s Stand by Me, this is a work that seems to perfectly capture what it feels like to be 12 years old.
Unsurprisingly, this #autobiographical film is inspired by the adolescence of #filmmakers #EricToledano and #OlivierNakache and one can feel the emotional truth in every scene. It is a film about love, music and #assimilation and is absolutely not to be missed – by #Jews and gentiles alike."
