Eine schöne Geschichte.
Momo wird erwachsen u.a. durch die Begegnung mit dem alten Ladenbesitzter. Der wird im Viertel nur "der Araber" genannt.
Sie kommen ins Gespräch. Momo ist auf sich alleine gestellt. Niemand kümmert sich um ihn.
Momo findet einen treuen, väterlichen Freund, einen neuen Blick auf die Welt - und findet zum Glauben.
Der Islam kommt hier mal sympathisch 'rüber, da es die mysthische Richtung von ihm ist, die der Sufis/ Sufismus.
Neben der DVD ist auch das Buch von Schmitt, welches sehr kindlich-reif (Momo ist zu Beginn 11) geschrieben ist.
Man wird mitgenommen in seine Welt und Entwicklung, seine Begegnungen mit den Menschen.
Dass dann der Film doch noch ein paar 'zusätzliche' "Spannungselemente" brauchte (z.B. das Mädchen im Haus) tut dem keinen Abbruch.
Filme zeigen ja selten genau das was im Buch steht, das wissen wir ja alle.
Trotzdem empfehle ich beides. Buch und Film.
Bravo Eric Emanuel Schmitt.

Ein rührender Film und ein tolles Buch. Beide haben ihren Zauber, beide erzählen die gleiche Geschichte, doch anders.

Omar Sharif commentary in English
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2016
[[ASIN:B001O4VV6S Monsieur Ibrahim und die Blumen des Koran - Große Kinomomente [Import allemand]]]Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 October 2016
This DVD edition was produced for the German market. Along with the DVD, a 10 page booklet with notes about the film and interviews with actor Omar Sharif and director François Dupeyron is included. This booklet and all cover notes are in German only. The DVD has a German and a French audio track, and optional subtitles in both languages. A word of warning: there is no English audio track, and there are no English subtitles for the film.
The huge surprise was the feature-length commentary track with Omar Sharif, which is not mentioned in the product description! And his commentary, interestingly, is in English. This alone may make this DVD interesting for fans of the late Omar Sharif.
The film itself is a coming of age film set in 1960s Paris. It follows the friendship of a teenage Jewish boy and an elderly Turkish Sufi Muslim shop keeper in a poor neighbourhood of Paris. The acting is outstanding. Omar Sharif delivers one of his best performances ever as Monsieur Ibrahim, and Pierre Boulanger is quite amazing as Momo in what is his film debut.
Highly recommended, but knowledge of German or French is required to understand the feature film.
Edit: I see that this review now also appears with another (also German) DVD version of the film which may or may not include the same bonus features as the one I purchased (see attached photo).
