U
nlike the serious cinephiles in
Bertolucci’s The Dreamers, the
folks who live on the Rue Bleue
in the Paris of the 1960s are agog when a
movie is shot in their neighborhood. No
matter that the director is Jean-Luc
Godard, because he would not be recog-
nized on this street. A crowd turns out to
watch as a bright, new convertible
appears, and a glamorous movie star
(Isabelele Adjani in a blonde wig as
Brigitte Bardot) deigns to get into the car
with a darkly handsome man.
Among the neighborhood spectators
is the convenience store owner,
Monsieur Ibrahim (Omar Sharif); a kid
who’s raising himself, Momo (Pierre
Boulanger); a red-haired girl the boy’s age,
Myriam (Lola Naynmark); and the good-
natured prostitutes who work the street —
Sylvie (Anne Suarez), Fatou (Mata Gavin)
and Eva (Celine Samie). One of the prosti-
tutes observes that the film star also has to do
what a man wants her to do, not unlike a
woman in her profession. (The film being
made is supposed to be Godard’s Contempt.)
Momo, called Moises by his father, has
way too much time alone. His dad (Gilbert
Melki) is so depressed he scarcely knows the
boy is around. But the boy gets a new name
and some much needed parenting from
Monsieur Ibrahim, who overlooks his pilfer-
ing and mischievously suggests a special
pate he can serve his worthless father for din-
ner.
Sharif is still the great leading actor he
was in his younger days. His performance is
understated and unsentimental, and his
SONY PICTURES CLASSICS, 2003.
12:05, 3:20, 7:15, 10:30
Friendship
demeanor sets the emotional tone of the film.
For the picture, Sharif wears his hair short
and gray, and he suffers a prosthetic that
makes his teeth look less cared for than is
true for the meticulous former bridge cham-
pion and international star. His character,
Monsieur Ibrahim, has a kind soul, and he
teaches the unhappy Momo how to smile and
introduces happiness as a possibility the boy
has never considered.
Boulanger makes his screen debut as
Momo, and he delivers a fine performance,
showing his character mature under the guid-
ance of the generous Ibrahim. The actor han-
dles himself well in scenes with the various
prostitutes who mother him and when he
learns to dance and fall in love with Miryam.
Monsieur Ibrahim makes a gentle, per-
sonal case for religious tolerance and for
friendship across generations. It opens at the
Bijou April 16 for a brief run.

DAY OF INDEPENDENCE: Directed by Chris
Tashima. Produced by Lisa Onodera. Executive producers,
Tashima and Tim Toyama, based on his play. Executive producers,
Toyama and Chris Donahue. Cinematography, Stacy Toyama.

T
his short feature film encompasses the impor-
tant moments of a baseball game played more
than 50 years ago in a Japanese American
Zip (Derek Mio).and Hog (Marcus Toji)
internment camp during WWII. The pitcher is a young
the day of the big game.
man nicknamed Zip (Derek Mio), and the catcher is
Hog (Marcus Toji).
The pressure is on to win the game, but Hog knows Zip has more on his mind than baseball.
Zip’s ill father (Alan Muraoka) and caretaker mother (Keiko Kawashima) have left the camp for
Japan. They will not return, but they want their son to have the advantages of growing up in the
West, even under the circumstances of being interned. Zip lives with Hog’s family.
But these two are also boys, American boys, and their thoughts in spring turn to girls. And
baseball. Some of the film’s sweetest moments come during friendly flirtations between the boys
and girls they like. Bring the whole family.
The film is a fund-raiser for the Yujin Gakuen Elementary School 5th grader’s trip to Japan.
Day of Independence will play three times on April 10 at the Bijou Art Cinemas: noon, 1:15 and
2:30 pm. Admission $10 adults, $5 children, seniors, high school and middle-school students. ew
