| 1) This one is really hard to find, so if you’ve managed to get ahold of itkudos. Donald Sutherland and Genevieve Bujold are absolutely great in thisas a young priest and commited choir girl. Paul Almond does a really nicejob of easing into their growing and confusing relationship, which reallypicks up as the narrative unfolds in unlikely ways by the third act.
You really have to watch this whole movie before you form an opinion on it,and if you miss the last shocking 30 seconds then you’ll probably have a lowopinion of this movie. This one really need to be re-released on DVD (orat least video besides at the National Archives!) so it can get an audience. |
