Talmud

About This Movie

Talmud (2007) dives deep into the intricate tapestry of Jewish thought, with Salfati guiding us through its evolution. The film crafts a contemplative atmosphere, inviting viewers to ponder the weight of this text. It’s a slow burn, but it allows for reflection on how the Talmud, once an oral tradition, became foundational for Jewish identity. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, which complements the profound themes of knowledge transmission and cultural heritage. Visually, it’s not flashy; rather, it relies on interviews and archival materials that feel grounded. There's a certain intimacy in its approach, making it a thoughtful piece for those interested in religious texts and their stories.
