I watched the Dybbuk a few days ago, much to my delight. I found the Kino Classics Blu-ray collection called “Jewish Soul” which includes a bunch of Yiddish film that’s hard to find.

I’m watching it again today with the commentary track on and I’m so grateful for it. It’s by a film historian who gives perspective on story elements, context for the actors, comparison between the film and the play it was based on and information on the cultural setting. It helps so much and makes the movie that much more fascinating to me. ❤️
