Cantor Ben Gottlieb (Jason Schwartzman) in a crisis of faith finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher Carla O’Connor (Carol Kane) re-enters his life as his new adult Bat Mitzvah student. Critically lauded following its premiere at the preeminent Sundance Film Festival, this indie gem from director Nathan Silver thrives off the sparking chemistry of its two leads and a witty, disarmingly poignant script which mines deep into its central themes of faith, (re)connection and reconciling with grief.
Between the Temples
This wonderfully deadpan screwball comedy-drama starring the extraordinary duo of Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane follows a grieving cantor's journey of reconnection with his former music teacher, after reentering his life as his adult Bat Mitzvah student.
