BETWEEN THE TEMPLES
Official Selection at Sundance, Berlin & Tribeca!
In BETWEEN THE TEMPLES, Ben (Schwartzman) is a forty-something cantor losing his voice and possibly his faith. Struggling to meet the expectations of his rabbi, congregation, and not one but two Jewish mothers (Aaron and de Leon), Ben finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher re-enters his life as an adult bat mitzvah student. This warm and anxious comedy from prolific writer/director Nathan Silver explores the complexities of belief, connection, and what it means to be a real mensch.
Between The Temples - Film Review
Guy Lodge, variety.com
"Silver’s casual filmmaking style, meanwhile, situates his cast in a dual atmosphere of jagged realism and rough-and-tumble farce: Sean Price Williams’ handheld lensing and John Magary’s editing are both antsy in all the right ways, mirroring the characters’ restlessness, their nervousness, and their occasional, ill-planned, briefly glorious lunges at rebellion, moral and spiritual naysayers be damned."
