Neal B @RT89388047 09/15/2024 Rare to get a movie with subtitles where you're more interested in the actors faces and actions than what they're saying. Fun to see a portrayal of a good priest utterly engaged in his existence as a creature on this earth. Lots of indulgent photography; I liked it.

Me parece una señal para la iglesia católica See more 07/03/2016 Polish cinema decided to do something brave and show to the world this movie. The only thing is that this is not a movie about a forbidden love story. It is a movie about religious abstinence and human desire and how these both fight each other. It is a tale about human nature. Rural Poland is the setting where the movie takes place, with the narrow minded people and the church ruling over everyone. The movie barely touches those subjects while it is all about the priesthood and its difficulties, as well as it is about being true to one's self and desires. Chyra was quite possibly the greatest performance of the cast. See more 03/18/2016 A stupid little tale of a priest who falls for a guy who isn't quite there. Meant to be profound, this tale falls very flat. See more 03/01/2015 This is a Polish film set in rural Poland. A middle aged priest continues to struggle with his celibacy and loneliness. The film opens with the priest working in a small village and at the local home for delinquent boys. The story is engaging and well told. Among the older, teen aged boys (many looking somewhat older), everyone seems to have excellent gaydar. Everyone, that is, except for an attractive, unhappy, married young woman. And, for a small school/home, there seems to be an unusual number of gay boys. Several characters are partially fleshed out. The audience if left to draw their own conclusions about the motivations of various significant characters. The plight of the priest is sympathetically told. I saw this movie as part of the Film Movement series. It was an interesting trip to the flics. See more 01/16/2015 A slow-paced story of a struggling priest who wanted to surrender to free will. As blasphemous as the story goes, the irony of the movie throughout questioned the whole roles the characters play. A movie communicated by a lot of stares and deceptive homilies. What saved the movie were the shaky shots that upped the cinematography level by one. The isolation of the Polish culture was also exposed with medium truthfulness and authenticity.
