Monsieur Ibrahim
2003, 95 minutes, Rated M
With one of the best performances of his prestigious career, award-winning actor Omar Sharif makes a triumphant return to the screen in this "deeply felt and deeply affecting" gem that recalls coming-of-age hits like Kikujiro and Cinema Paradiso.
Sharif is Monsieur Ibrahim, an elderly widower who owns a grocery store in a shabby, working class district of Paris where he one day befriends a lonely teenage boy named Momo.
In Ibrahim, Momo finds the father he never had, a patient man infused with kindness and a wisdom that he freely shares... and Momo awakens in Ibrahim a taste for grand adventure, which takes them on a journey that will change both their lives forever.
