Go for Zucker is a delightful German comedy written and directed by Dani Levy. With a Midas touch, he navigates around highly sensitive topics for the German national psyche and creates the first post World War II German comedy about a Jewish family. Jacky Zucker (nee Jakob Zuckermann) was born to a Jewish mother in East Germany. She is on a trip to Frankfurt with her other son Samuel when the Wall dividing the country comes up, and she decides to stay in West Germany. Fourteen-year-old Jack determines to stay in the East German sports high schools he loves.  For the next 30 years, the two brothers who hated each others’ guts as teenagers lead separate lives. The film opens just as the gambler Jacky is thrown out by his wife and about to go to jail for not paying his debts. His unsuspecting wife receives a telegram from Samuel, who in the meantime has taken up Orthodox Judaism, that their mother has died and that he is coming to Berlin lay her to rest in Jewish cemetery. The mother specified in her will that Jacky and Samuel will only get her money if they make up and spend one week together or morning her as prescribed by Jewish rituals. When Samuel first arrives in Berlin with the coffin of the dead mother, the schism between the brothers seems insurmountable were it not for the fact that both would have a good use for a big injection of cash. Go see Zucker!
