A Jewish village in Ukraine, just over the border from Poland, is on the verge of being taken over by Nazis. That is the starting point for an astonishing feat of moviemaking. While drawing a vibrant canvas of a community that has many differing reactions to the impending tragedy, the film is made in what appears to be one continuous shot, the camera never stopping as it explores the rich world that it creates. The dialogue is almost entirely in Yiddish, and the film is mostly in black-and-white. In addition to the vibrant and original approach to filmmaking, Shttl features a top-notch cast, led by Moshe Lobel, who starred in the recent Yiddish production in New York City of Fiddler on the Roof. (Ukraine/France, 2022, 114min., In Yiddish and Ukrainian with English subtitles | Dir. Ady Walter)
