Diane says: “I saw CORPUS CHRISTI, a Polish film from Film Movement, online via my local theater. Nom’ed for Best International Film for the Oscars, it’s about a young man who leaves juvenile prison and takes on a new identity in the village where he lands, transforming a place that has gone through deep trauma. It’s pretty spare, emotional, beautifully shot. Covers themes of guilt and grief in a raw way. Lead actor Bartosz Bielenia’s eyes make an indelible impression. 5 cats.”

 

Bob says: “No, not the town in Texas. A young man in Poland is about to be released from juvie and wants to become a priest, but the prison Charlie tells him that no seminary would accept anyone with a record like his. He finds a way around that, and serves as the rather unorthodox (so to speak) priest in a small town — at least for a while.”
