Le Village des idiots
Description
Las de la vie quotidienne dans son village natal de Chelm, Shmendrik part en quête de connaissances, qui le mènent vers un nouveau Chelm, tellement identique au premier qu'il y retrouve même le caquètement familier des poules. Basé sur un conte folklorique juif adapté par John Lazarus, Le Village des idiots raconte la nouvelle vie de Shmendrik, si étrangement semblable à l'ancienne; le film illustre avec beaucoup de drôlerie notre tendance à fabuler sur ce que nous n'avons pas.
