At once a mischievous provocation and a thoughtful essay, Kike Like Me is filmmaker Jamie Kastner's idiosyncratic exploration of what it means to be perceived as Jewish in the world today. Kastner receives a shotgun bar mitzvah from Hasids in Brooklyn, and gets kicked out of Pat Buchanan's Virginia mansion. He causes a near-riot in a Parisian suburb simply by asking what people think about Jews. He meets the "dominatrix" behind Berlin's largest memorial to dead Jews, and enjoys lunch at the hot dog stand at Auschwitz. This film is as apt to make you cry as laugh in its unique, surprising and universal revelations about identity.
