Between the Temples Directed by Nathan Silver Starring Jason Schwartzman, Carol Kane Rated R | Runtime 1 hours & 51 minutes 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. “A spiky, hilarious, and thoroughly unorthodox screwball comedy about a grief-stricken cantor who loses his voice, only to find that he’s surrounded by a chorus of well-intentioned people who are happy to speak for him.” David Ehrlich IndieWire “Driven by Kane and Schwartzman’s chemistry, the film humanizes the midlife reawakening many eventually face en route to self-acceptance.” Valerie Complex Deadline
