'Between the Temples' Explores Grief and Self-Discovery at Sundance

Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane deliver praised performances in Nathan Silver's latest film, currently seeking U.S. distribution.

Between the Temples, a film directed by Nathan Silver and starring Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane, explores themes of grief, self-discovery, and faith.
Schwartzman plays a grieving cantor who forms an unexpected bond with his former music teacher, played by Kane, who seeks to explore her Jewish roots and have a Bat Mitzvah.
The film is described as a screwball comedy that confronts the fear of happiness and the expectations of others, with Schwartzman and Kane praised for their performances.
Despite the comedic elements, the film delves into the characters' emotional journeys, with the bond between the two main characters serving as a buffer against potential embarrassment and humiliation.
The film premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is currently seeking U.S. distribution.
