Follows the travails and daydreams of the lovelorn Ruben (Regular Lovers' Nicolas Maury), a French-Jewish gay mailman living in fairytale Finland with his gorgeous Nordic boyfriend. But just before Passover, a series of mishaps and a lovers' quarrel exile the heartbroken Ruben back to Paris and his zany family-which includes Almodovar goddess Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Volver) as his ditzy mom. Scripted by director Mikael Buch and renowned art house auteur Christophe Honor (Love Songs), Let My People Go! #both celebrates and upends Jewish and gay stereotypes with wit, gusto and style to spare. The result is deeply heartwarming, fabulously kitschy and hysterically funny. ## Product Details - **Genre:** Drama - **Format:** Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Amira Casar, Aurore Clement, Aurore Clément, Carmen Maura, Charlie Dupont, Christelle Cornil, Clément Sibony, Didier Flamand, Geraldine Michelot, Jarkko Niemi, Jean-Christophe Bouvet, Jean-Fran ois St venin, Jean-Francois Stevenin, Jean-François Stévenin, Jean-Luc Bideau, Jonathan Sadoun, Kari VSSnSnen, Kari Väänänen, Mikael Buch, Nicolas Maury, Olavi Uusivirta, Outi Mäenpää, Philippe Martin - **Language:** French - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 27 minutes ## Images ![Let My People Go! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41zDMmrxSdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoroughly delightful *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2013* Let My People Go! is the most delightful movie I've seen in ages. Nicolas Maury is so utterly adorable, so sweetly, innocently, devastatingly sexy, so fascinating to watch every second he's on screen, that I wish he'd already starred in dozens of movies so I could watch them all. Since he hasn't, I'll have to sift through the few in which he has appeared in smaller roles.His seemingly unselfconscious charm makes this whole movie a great joy to watch, and I can't imagine it without him at its heart - but everybody else in it and behind it is so good that I'd give it a try anyway.Maury plays Reuben Steiner (spelled Ruben in the credits), a gay French Jew living in Finland with Teemu, his Finnish husband. His scheme to start a sauna business has failed and he's working as a mailman.A man on his mail route gives him an envelope containing almost 200,000 euro and then appears to drop dead. Teemu gets angry at Ruben for taking the money and kicks him out, so he returns to spend Passover with his highly eccentric but very loving family in Paris.It's a farce, much like a very modern version of a 30s screwball comedy, but all the main characters are so lovable and real that the totally unreal stuff that happens doesn't matter.There are no bad performances (his mother is played by Almodóvar's longtime muse Carmen Maura), no villains in the story except a pig-headed in-law and a couple of snarky cops, but they're negligible. A scene near the end in which the rottweiler-like police chief reads Ruben's love letter (in English) to Teemu over the phone is priceless.A brilliant screenplay (co-written with director Mikael Buch by the divine Christophe Honoré), mostly in French and Finnish with fairly good English subtitles; and an interesting score with songs by Devendra Banhart, Noah and the Whale and others.I rented the movie, but I loved it so much that I've ordered a copy to watch many times over. I can't recommend it highly enough. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Passover problems! *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2016* A very funny movie. I liked how it was filmed, portraying the wackier side of people's personalities. (Come on, we all know someone who acts like at least one of the characters in this movie!) And while I have never experienced a Passover like the one in the movie, the preparation had a very familiar ring to it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great!! *by S*** on Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2011* My daughter loves these videos. We had gotten her the first video for Christmas (she is 3yrs old) and she LOVED it!!! So I am purchasing all of them, 1 or 2 at a time. I love that it is teaching her the bible, book by book!! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9403658-let-my-people-go](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/9403658-let-my-people-go) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
