Renews Your Faith in the Power of Film!

How about a story, a screenplay, a film, about a "good man," adrift in a world of cynicism, nihilism, of sex, of drugs, of r&r? That's radical. And make that man a Catholic Priest? OK, now you've really gone off the deep-end. And cast Brendan Gleeson in the lead role? Brilliant! That's my reaction to "Calvary," .  It's really an overpowering film. Written and Directed by John Michael McDonagh, the older brother of Martin McDonagh, one of Ireland's and frankly, the world's, great playwrights and filmmakers (see "In Bruges").

"Calvary" is an immersive experience. I mean, we sunk into it completely. Perfectly realized, beautifully done. We went thru the full spectrum of emotion - from tears to laughter. It is darkly funny, it's deeply profound, and it will make you think. Renews your faith in film. This is a great one...
