I liked this very dark, Chilean drama from director Pablo Larrain (he directed the just-released film “Jackie”), about priests moved from their parishes for ‘bad deeds,’ (pedophilia, trading in babies, providing confession to criminal state actors during Pinochet’s junta and keeping records of their crimes). They’re cared for by a ‘nun’ with her own tale to tell. They’re spending their time in a quiet seaside town praying, training their racing greyhound, gambling, and drinking a bit. A new resident arrives, but his stay is brief as homeless man calls him out on his crimes. Into their mix comes a self-righteous, Jesuit inquisitor sent from Rome to evaluate and shut down the house. Things don’t go smoothly. This is a sharp critique of the Church, with focus on its self-protective and dishonest ways. Bronwen walked out. She found the film’s brutality and, sometimes gratuitous, cold nastiness in language distasteful. It sometimes is, but I stayed through to the end because I think the film’s critique is valuable and to watch what happens as the characters unfold. The brutality and language are tough, but I’m glad I watched through to the conclusion. I found the extra featured interviews useful but also smugly cinephiliac.
