Viewed: LA PETIT JERUSALEM

The French film is a story of a woman who believes in Kant's philosophy of not straying to physical pleasures eventually falls in love and can't resist being intimate. However with religious and family angles at play life doesn't turn out as desired.

The film dabbles in many areas - a woman trying to find her individuality in a society that makes it hard through religious beliefs, family stigma and explores sexuality from a woman's perspective.

It does an extremely effective job by telling the story of a Jewish lady living in Paris with her family.
