Between The Temples
An endlessly energetic and exquisite look at two lost souls and their desperate search for something to hold onto, BETWEEN THE TEMPLES is cheeky, touching and irreverent! [ United States. 2024. Directed by Nathan Silver. in English. OPEN CAPTIONS ON MONDAY. ] In Nathan Silver's hilariously frenetic BETWEEN THE TEMPLES, we are treated to a host of genius-level comedic performances by the likes of Jason Schwartzman, Carol Kane, Caroline Aaron and Dolly De Leon. Ben (Schwartzman), a widower reeling from the sudden death of his wife, lives at home with his meddling mothers (Aaron and De Leon) who not-so-subtly push him to start dipping a toe back into the dating scene. As a cantor at the local synagogue, suddenly a sense of purpose and unexpected connection shows up in the form of Carla (Kane), his septuagenarian grade-school music teacher who yearns to become a bat mitzvah. While he initially balks at the idea, Carla's off-kilter yet refreshing takes on the world prove to be the shake-up he needs to start participating in his own life. Their work studying Torah morphs into a friendship that begins to bleed into the personal as they find surprising solace in each other's presence. The brilliantly written script is the ultimate vehicle for this pitch-perfect ensemble to lovingly needle the conventions of religion, family and relationships.ComedyPT1H51MR2024-08-23Jason Schwartzman
