Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Jean-Jacques Zilbermann's intermittently charming 1999 film Man Is a Woman ("Un Homme est Une Femme comme des Autres") was a surprise hit in France, briefly out-grossing Titanic. A bittersweet study of bisexuality and identity, it puts feckless gay bar pianist Simon (Antoine de Caunes, better known fromEurotrash) on the spot when his uncle offers him a fortune to marry and preserve the family name. At the wedding of David (Gad Elmalah), the cousin on whom he has a long-standing crush, Simon plays clarinet with a traditional klezmer band, impressing American Rosalie so much she falls for him. Rosalie is a traditionalist, who sings Yiddish folk songs to halls of ageing folk--yet for all that she is the black sheep of a claustrophobically loving New York family of the ultra-orthodox. Simon's cynical eye to the main chance does not contradict his genuine affection for her innocence or their mutual attraction (though he fancies her brother more). The well-observed social and sexual comedy as well as the gorgeous music do not entirely compensate for some unresolved plot threads. --Roz Kaveney

Synopsis
Simon is gay and lives in Paris. He is offered ten million francs (one million pounds) by an uncle to marry, produce children and continue the family name. Reluctantly he accepts and becomes involved with a Yiddish soprano through his clarinet playing but they soon start to feel more than mere affection for one another...
