CGiii Comment
Eloy, Eloy, Eloy...why hast thou bestowed such crap upon the world?
The usual static direction, the usual wooden acting, the usual clunking wordiness...the arguments presented here are as simplistic as an amoeba...alas, not as interesting.
Look...it's simple - those that enter the priesthood know beforehand that they are not allowed to bonk (man, woman or reptile)...so, what's all the fuss about? Accept it or leave.
Catholicism is a ridiculousness of humanity...and, this is a ridiculously facile film.
The last supper scene is laughable - unfortunately, it's the only highlight to be had.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Obsessed with fantasies of sex, Father Miguel seeks professional help through his church but they are not listening; thus leaving the Father in a dilemma; leaving the church or should he try, on his own, to surrender to these temptations?
