Synopsis by Daniel Gelb
Persistent wheeler-dealer Norman Oppenheimer (Richard Gere) befriends an Israeli politician (Lior Ashkenazi) during the latter's trip to New York City. When the politico is elected prime minister of his country, Norman rises in esteem within the local Jewish community, even though his new social connections might be a sham. Joseph Cedar wrote and directed this drama, which co-stars Michael Sheen, Steve Buscemi, and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
