Corpus Christi (Boze Cialo)

THE GIST: Daniel is a troubled young man who's already spent time in juvenile detention. There, he has undergone a spiritual awakening, but his interest in joining the priesthood can't go anywhere because of his criminal record. After his release, on his way to a new job, he stops in a small village, where he meets the local priest.

Nominated for a Best International Feature Film Oscar, Corpus Christi tells a fairly intimate story of the struggles of a person who would really like to do something, but he cannot because of the mistakes he made in his life.

The story is very well written and developed, and the entire cast does an excellent job.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Don't let the subtitles stop you from enjoying a really nice feature. Definitely recommended.

Grade: 8
