The Moon is Jewish

About This Movie

So, 'The Moon is Jewish' is quite the intriguing documentary. It dives deep into the life of a Legia Warsaw supporter who's neck-deep in the skinhead scene. Then, out of nowhere, he finds out he's got Jewish roots. What I find fascinating is how he transitions—like, he literally starts living as an orthodox Jew. The tone is a blend of irony and sincerity, and the pacing feels almost like a journey, with the reactions of those around him creating this unique atmosphere of tension and curiosity. It’s not flashy, but it’s got a raw honesty to it. The way it tackles identity and belief systems, well, that sets it apart from your usual docs.
