Review: Odd-couple comedy To Dust digs up some small pleasures GlobeArts
, an underfed but defiantly attractive black comedy from the upstart American filmmaker Shawn Snyder. We have Shmuel, an insistent Hasidic cantor who, after losing his wife to cancer, is obsessed with the decomposition of her buried corpse. The understanding of her decay is central to his stoic grieving.He enlists the help of Albert, a jaded science teacher played by wan, bearded straight-man-for-hire Matthew Broderick.
Snyder employs Jethro Tull’s music at times, where I would have gone with the more obvious prog-rock existentialism – Kansas’s. That’s why Snyder is a filmmaker with promise, and I’m just here spreading the news. Live your best.
