Carol Kane and Jason Schwartzman on ‘Between the Temples,’ a Screwball Comedy That Shows It’s Never Too Late for a Bat Mitzvah
Carol Kane and Jason Schwartzman discuss 'Between the Temples,' a screwball comedy about a late-in-life bat mitzvah that will premiere at Sundance.
As the indie filmmaker started telling people that his mother was embarking on a rite of passage usually reserved for teenagers, a friend urged him to turn her story into a movie. Now, “Between the Temples,” a screwball comedy inspired by mom’s coming-of-age ceremony, will premiere at Sundance, with Carol Kane and Jason Schwartzman playing an elderly bat mitzvah student and a depressed cantor who forge an unlikely bond. In a career that’s seen her directed by the likes of Sidney Lumet, Hal Ashby and Mike Nichols, there are still lots of people she’s dying to work with (if you read this, Marty Scorsese, give Carol a call).
