Absolutely beautiful, it might be confusing to people who aren't Jewish, but those who are will love this
I have to agree with many others that I'm very pleased to see that you made this film available as I had heard of it but never knew where to find it. Films such as this show early religious, cultural and psychological horrors demonstrate the origins of the genre and how it has progressed over the many decades and generations of audiences and filmmaking and should be required viewing for all horror fans. I hope to see more such films on SHUDDER.
I was so pleased to see this available, its a wonderful cultural play that holds its own today.
A fascinating cultural masterpiece.
Wow! Not a horror at all, but so very clean, theatrical, lovely. A real play with a supernatural twist.
