My Father, My Lord
Running Time: 72 mins.
Hebrew with English subtitles
"Has the glowing simplicity of a biblical parable...profoundly compassionate...a movie of tiny gestures and earthshaking implications." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times
An intimate and deeply disturbing story of the conflict between a father's love and his deep devotion to religion. A respected Orthodox Rabbi dotes on his only son but his religious strictures leave an emotional gap between the impish child and the stern father. A dramatic retelling of the story or Abraham & Isaac with a devastating twist.
