Shmuel, a Hasidic cantor in upstate New York, distraught by the untimely death of his wife, struggles to find religious solace, while secretly obsessing over how her body will decay.
"Politically incorrect and provocative, 'To Dust' is a comedy about the clash between two very different concepts: Orthodox religion and the modern world. Thanks to a solid script, the strange duo of protagonists, formed by Géza Röhrig ('Son of Saul') and Matthew Broderick ('Ferris Bueller's Day Off'), works perfectly and causes dozens of laughs. The challenge of making a comedy work from a deep existential theme, such as the reconciliation of faith and grief, is fulfilled here. It is undoubtedly an innovative film with a cast to measure."
