Jews and Money: Investigation of a Myth is an intriguing documentary by Lewis Cohen that delves into the persistent stereotype of the wealthy Jew. The film juxtaposes historical context with contemporary issues, exploring how these myths affect real lives, exemplified by the tragic story of Ilan Halimi, whose kidnapping and murder illustrate the dangers of prejudice. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of the themes. There's an almost somber, reflective atmosphere throughout, punctuated by interviews and archival footage that lend depth to the discussion. It stands out for its critical examination of how these myths are perpetuated in society and the personal tragedies that can unfold from them. A thought-provoking watch, for sure.
