A tale of two unwitting lovers, God is Great, I'm Not features the doe-eyed Audrey Tautou; the young Parisian actress who melted hearts and charmed critics in the Oscar-nominated film Am�lie. Tautou stars as Michele, a neurotic Parisian model in the throes of a premature midlife crisis. Her relationship with her boyfriend (Mathieu Demy from Once We Grow Up, 2001 WJFF) has gone bust and she feels emotionally and spiritually adrift. Enter into her life Francois (Edouard Baer), an easy going, Jewish veterinarian. Their nascent relationship is soon on firm footing; that is until Michele abandons her Buddhist texts and decides to convert to Judaism. Despite her boyfriend�s protest, Michele begins the rocky road to conversion; one filled with a number of comic twists and turns. A delightful tale of romance with a sparkling cast, God is Great, I'm Not is a delightful film that should not be missed.
