Named Best Narrative Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival, My Father My Lord is an intimate story of the conflict between a fathers love and his deep devotion to religion. A respected orthodox Rabbi (Dayan) dotes on his only son, but his religious convictions leave an emotional gap between the impish child and the stern father. When the fathers all consuming obsession with observing religious ritual inadvertently leads to tragedy, his previously subservient wife rages against both her husband and God. A dramatic retelling of the story of Abraham and Isaac, albeit with a devastating twist, the film is beautifully performed, written and directed.
