Talking to God (2020)
Warning: This film may open your heart and get your life unstuck
Talking to God made me laugh and made me cry. But what it did most was helped me laugh my way into a mental-emotional-spiritual paradigm shift that opened my heart.
Be careful - it may do that to you too.
With a brilliant script and top level sound design and production Maya Batash grants the world access to the deepest secrets of Kabbalah and Hasidut with a gentle touch.
She has discovered the secret to true happiness in the fantastical tales of Rebbe Nachman and like any great doctor written a prescription that includes a spoon full of sugar to help us ingest and digest these new concepts as she retells the stories in a reality that we know.
Her portrayal of characters so absurd and exaggerated ironically makes them disarmingly relatable and human. And that's a whole lot of fun.
With all the the overstimulation and desensitization, Talking to God is a welcomed still strong voice that takes us back to basics. It's first and foremost a comedy about humanity - but then again - what is a human other than a biological being with a Divine soul and the potential for the consciousness to access it.
For me, this is a must watch, Probably at least once a month.
