In Our Synagogue

About This Movie

In Our Synagogue is a unique blend of dreamlike atmosphere and existential inquiry. The pacing feels almost hypnotic, pulling you into this boy's obsession with the synagogue's past. You can sense Kafka’s shadow over the narrative, as the boy, consumed by his quest, seems to drift through a world that’s both familiar and disconcertingly distant. The performances are haunting yet understated, capturing the weight of unspoken histories. The practical effects are subtle but effective, immersing you deeper into the boy's inward journey. It’s not just a story about discovery; it’s more about the things we choose to ignore, the reality around us, and how it shapes our understanding of the past. Quite distinctive for its melancholic approach, really.
