As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Minor niggle - you wear a purple stole to heard confessions, not a white one.However, this is one of the best films I have seen so far this year. The 'play within a play' like Hamlet makes for very interesting viewing as the back story unfolds.Can anyone cast light on the continual lighting of matches? Or is it merely to 'cast light on the situation'? And a question for someone clever - We know that the haunting and beautiful background music is by the Hilliard Ensemble and includes a Requiem mass and parts of Tenebrae - but what disc is it from? I have looked at their discography but can't fund it.
I really loved this movie. This was a tale well told and the acting was very impressive. I felt like I was watching a high quality play on Broadway! Brent Carver was brilliant and the whole cast wonderful. Very interesting to stick with a male cast, but it worked! At times you almost forgot that there were no women in this movie! The casting was superb and I thought the eye candy was excellent and they could act! The movie managed to create a wonderful environment that gave off a terrific atmosphere.The story was so intriguing and kept you on the edge of your seat. I thought this was a really wonderful tale told extremely well and what a treat!
A very well-put together movie. The sort that feels complete and well-told after you watch it.Everything I would expect from such a movie: dramatic, tragic, and sexy. Definitely worth seeing.Someone commented that it was confusing... I found it a bit confusing, but I understood it all at the end. If I'd been paying a bit less attention, I can see how it would have been bad that way. But I think this movie is worth paying attention to see; the story is told in a very unique way.Or maybe I just haven't seen enough clever movies, making me really like this one.
This movie is absolutely my favorite, it moves my soul so much that i can´t even describe it... I was so astonished about this because i never believed that anyone could do movie like this. It was so touching , even i´we seen Lilies 20 times it make me cry every time.
