INTO THE GREAT SILENCE Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was totally transported by the beauty of this film and the profundity of its message and was not bored for one second. In contrast, coming out of the film I felt bombarded by the ugliness of our modern surroundings, the visual vulgarity, mind-numbing noise, and frenetic agitation all around. I wished to be back in the film's ambience of the sacred.
It helps to have a sense of the sacred to appreciate this film. If you are looking for action, even if it's only the monks' "inner" struggle, pick another movie. This one is about success on the spiritual path not failure, and measure of success in the monastery is different from that in the world. These men entered the order with a purpose, to seek the great Peace, and they have found it. One has only to look at their faces, presented with stark directness to know this. Yes, we could be told of all the struggles they faced and the joys they knew, but it is not the purpose of this film to expose a roller coaster of emotions that we can imagine, but to show the extraordinary peace we cannot imagine, and it does this brilliantly with its beautiful camera work and its stately and dignified pace.
Some want to know what these men are thinking. Perhaps they are thinking about God, and their thoughts of God need not be complex to be profound, for the simple utterance of His name can contain all other prayers.This connection of silence with the search for God is expressed by the most diverse spiritual authorities from Black Elk - "for is not silence the very voice of the Great Spirit?", to Jili - "He who speaks becomes silent before the Divine Essence", To St. John of the Cross - "One word spake the Father, which Word was His Son, and this Word He speaks ever in eternal silence, and in silence must it be heard by the soul".
It is hoped that the viewers of this film will look past the need to be entertained and open themselves to what this film has to teach us. I for one am very grateful to those who produced it and for those who so generously allowed us entrance to this sacred world.

Padre Pio, Miracle Man (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This movie on the life of St. Pio is excellent! Even though St. Pio was known during his life time as a "wonder-worker", and had many angelic and demonic encounters throughout his life, and even had apparitions of both Jesus and Mary, St. Pio was still a human being. This movie shows people the life of St. Pio from HIS human perspective. The viewer will see St. Pio crying after a woman dies before his eyes, asking "Why does he [Satan] always win?" The viewer will see St. Pio get angry, laugh, love, and suffer.
One of the most fascinating aspects of St. Pio's thinking was his shame of being chosen by God to bear the stigmatic wounds of Jesus. One of his first responses to the sitgmatic wounds is, "Why? Why did God choose me?". It is this shame that drives St. Pio to hide his stigmata. When the Pope grants permission to a (unbelieving) doctor to examine him, he responds, "Are you hear to see the freak show? Sorry, the circus is closed." I think this highlights St. Pio's human character.
Although St. Pio performed a multitude of miracles during his earthly life, these are not the focus of the film at all. This film shows a "wonder-worker" who thought if necessary to have a hospital built for the sick and suffering. This film shows a St. Pio who says, "You can't always ask for miracles." In fact, although the movie shows St. Pio's gift of prophecy and heart-reading, the only other miracles that the movie shows are the lives that were changed by St. Pio's life of faith, hope, and love.
Ultimately what this presentation of St. Pio's life gives to us viewers is the lesson that Christians are themselves "sacraments" (i.e., physical means through which God conveys His grace), and that we cannot expect our Christian lives to be overflowing with the supernatural. God works through our discipline, obedience, perseverance, prayer, and faith to spread His Kingdom.

The Story Behind the Film:Padre Pio as he is known by millions of believers around the world a worthy follower of Saint Francis of Assisi was born on 25 May 1887 at Pietrelcina in the Archdiocese of Benevento the son of Grazio Forgione and Maria Giuseppa De Nunzio. He was baptized the next day and given the name Francesco. At the age of twelve he received the Sacrament of Confirmation and made his First Holy Communion. On 6 January 1903 at the age of sixteen he entered the novitiate of the Capuchin Friars at Morcone where on 22 January he took the Franciscan habit and the name Brother Pio. At the end of his novitiate year he took simple vows and on 27 January 1907 made his solemn profession. After he was ordained priest on 10 August 1910 at Benevento he stayed at home with his family until 1916 for health reasons. In September of that year he was sent to the friary of San Giovanni Rotondo and remained there until his death.The Film:Director Carlo Carlei (The Flight of the Innocent) manages to get to the core of the truth with this touching biopic that relives the tradition of religious filmmaking that benefits too from a powerhouse performance by Sergio Castellitto one of Italy most beloved contemporary stars.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:FOREIGN/LATIN UPC:882853002697 Manufacturer No:NS0026DVD

Al Otro Lado (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a poignant, artistic and insightful movie perfect for Spanish classes for a lot of it is in Spanish, but for other classrooms as well. It delves into the lives of three young children whose fathers have left their countries in search of work or better opportunities and in a candid way shows the pain and desolation of those left behind. It also depicts the lengths that a child will go to in order to be reunited with his/her father.
Sad, but realistically beautiful!

Brother Sun Sister Moon (1972) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a member of the Franciscan Third Order and fell in love with this movie back when I was only 13. (I'm now 34) This movie is definitely a product of the 60's - but the message is timeless. I feel badly that the review by Amazon was so discouraging. I would not want anyone to read that and make a judgement.
The movie represents, in my opinion, the true beauty of the Franciscan charism. The joy, simplicity and love that our Saint Francis embodied. I felt that Mr. Faulkner was an EXCELLENT choice for the lead role - he couldn't have been any closer to what I imagine Francis being. The director, Franco Zeffirelli, has done notable films ("Endless Love" NOT among his best). If you are a fan of the famous "Jesus of Nazareth", then I would suggest viewing this. In any case, this is a wonderful little film to get you acquainted with this timeless saint.
One bit of trivia - Sir Alec Guinness wanted to play the part of the Pope - as he had just converted to Catholicism not long before the making of this film. :-)
Hope this rudimentary review helped!

The Jeweller's Shop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Those are the immortal words of the mystical Jeweller in this film, played wonderfully by Burt Lancaster. Based on the international best-selling book by Pope John Paul II, this film has an excellent cast of Lancaster, Olivia Hussey and Ben Cross. It gives a realistic portrayal of the struggles and the triumphs in the marriages of three couples, showing that the the union of man & woman in marriage is that mysterious mix of freedom, love, sacrifice, and grace. It is a touching and lovely film, while still portraying the sorrows and challenges in married life. The Pope had some very positive things to say about this film. It does make one want to go read his book, which I have read, and it is a little jewel itself. This is the second to last film for the legendary Burt Lancaster.

Joseph of Nazareth: The Story of the Man Closest to Christ Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a fine film on St. Joseph, one I have watched a few times now, and its clear to me that the previous very negative anonymous reviewer named "Customer" has either some kind of ax to grind, or simply does not have a clue about who St. Joseph really was, or what the Church & Scripture teach about him and his relationship to Our Lady.

I am a Catholic and I approached this film very critically as I have a strong devotion to and deep respect for St. Joseph. I was surprisingly pleased to see a wonderfully manly and noble performance by actor Tobias Moretti, whose strong & appealing portrayal has the right and tricky combination of being a man who is a devout Jew ("of David's line"), a "just man" as Scripture calls him (as does Mary in this film), a hard-working & excellent carpenter, who has a chaste love for Mary, and who struggles spiritually & emotionally to deal with the great mysteries confronting him regarding the divine conception of Mary's baby and the Incarnation of the Son of God. He has to be instructed several times by an Angel to understand and follow the mysterious plan of God at various stages, and he listens and obeys. He also understands and and does all he can to protect the Christ child from threats to his life. All of this is very well portrayed in the film, and is clearly based on the events from Scripture.

Regarding the "doubts" of Mary's virginity, that of course is clear in Scripture that Joseph did indeed naturally question how she could be pregnant without another man being involved, and was therefore planning to do the "just" act and divorce her quietly (instead of having her stoned as was often the case then for adultery). It was only when the Angel revealed to him that the child was conceived by the power of God that he came to understand, and accept that mystery. And why wouldn't a mere mortal man (born with original sin like us) with deep love for his spouse lose his temper when he hears she is pregnant ? This guy was no wimpy man. His strong emotions show how much he deeply cared for Mary.

Regarding the issue of "labor pains", the Church has no definitive teaching on whether Mary had labor pains or not. One is free to take it either way. That is something that has had great theologians and saints on both sides of the debate, but "labor pains" do not mean that she was not pure or that Christ was not God. After all, she suffered greatly in her life ("a sword shall pierce your heart" said Simeon to her) and of course her Son suffered incalculably in his passion & death. Suffering (like labor pains) don't mean you are not close to God - often those closest to God suffer greatly, and willingly.

Regarding Joseph possibly having any "worries" or doubts" about his foster son, we know that Joseph had to struggle with the divine mystery of who his son was, and like us had to grow in his understanding of this mysterious person who was both God and man. But the film clearly shows that while he has to grow in that faith and understanding, at the same time he accepts the mystery and deeply loves Jesus.

And finally Mary does not "despair" in the film when they lose the their child for three days. That just doesn't happen. She of course is greatly concerned, but never says she "despairs". While they both search earnestly for the child, she does say we must "pray and trust in the Lord" to help them find the child.

After watching the film a few times I liked it better each time. As I say, Tobias Moretti was outstanding in the lead, and I also really liked Stefania Rivi as Mary, another obviously difficult role to pull off right. I think she presented the right combo of feminity, beauty, purity, spirituality, humility and a deep faith in God. The cinematography, and the music score, are wonderful as well.

Highly recommended !

Diary of a Country Priest: The Criterion Collection (1954) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not yet seen Bresson's earliest film The Ladies of the Bois de Boulogne. That film was based on a Denis Diderot novel and that is not surprising as the Bresson films I have seen all have a distinctive literary quality. Diary Of A Country Priest as well as A Man Esaped(based on a memoir) & Pickpocket(based on a Dostoyevsky story) are all stories narrated to us by the protaganist. Diary of A Country Priest may be the most literary of them all for this film focuses almost exclusively on the thought processes of the priest. He tells his own story as though it were a confession. Bresson was a devout Roman Catholic but you don't have to be religious to appreciate this film because the priest struggles not so much with his faith but with his place in society. The film is quiet and is centered in this priests lonely introspections. He struggles not with faith but with making contact with another human being. Strangely enough his beliefs make him an outcast even to the other priests as they are much more practical minded and see the church as providing a practical social function. The other priests may believe in God but they live in the world comfortably. The young priest though is not practical and his religious feelings make him unable to function on any practical level. He has faith and yet he makes many of the villagers uncomfrotable because he is not a friendly gregarious presence as some of the other preists are but a quiet solemn one. He is really incapable of living on the surface of life and so he is incapable of the friendly kind of chatter that wins friends so when he goes on his rounds from home to home his social awkwardness tends to make people feel a bit uncomfortable. However when one woman has a true crisis of faith he is there for her in a way that one can see that it is this kind of situation he was made for. One of the more interesting and lighter aspects of the story is a friendship that develops between the priest and a young village girl. The girl is a rebel and tells lies and is drawn toward anything but the contemplative kind of life the priest lives and yet the two get along very well. The two both feel isolated from others for different reasons but somehow they provide each other with an interesting kind of company.

I think A Man Escaped & Pickpocket though both also quiet films are probably each more accessible than this one. A Man Escaped is about a resistance fighter who plans an elaborate escape from a Nazi prison, so though quiet and intorospective in its way we know there will eventually be a climax when he makes his attempted escape. Pickpocket is also very introspective but its a study of a criminal mind with plenty of exciting thefts and it ends with promise that the criminal has found something worth living for and so will change his ways. Diary of A Country Priest is quiet all the way through. There is beauty in it but its an austere kind of beauty. This film compared to A Man Escaped & Pickpocket takes a lot more patience and has the least entertainment value but provides the deepest and richest experience. Its a one of a kind film for a very discerning kind of filmgoer. All of Bressons films are made with great care (he took 3-4 years to make each one) and this one any filmgoer will be able to see is the one he put the most care into.

A young priest arrives in the French country village of Ambricourt toattend to his first parish, but the apathetic and hostile rural congregation rejects himimmediately. Through his diary entries, the suffering young man relays a crisis of faiththat threatens to drive him away from the village and from God. The fourth film byRobert Bresson (Les Dames du Bois de Boulogne) finds the director beginning toimplement his stylistic philosophy as a filmmaker, stripping away all inessential elementsfrom his compositions, the dialogue and the music, and exacting a purity of image andsound. The DVD also features an audio commentary by film historian Peter Cowie,deleted scenes and the trailer.

National Geographic - Inside the Vatican Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Martin Sheen skillfully narrates this colorful and wonderfully-shot depiction of the inner workings of the Vatican. The film shows us the printing service, post office, art restoration lab and choirs of the world's smallest state. You will also learn about site's history, starting as Saint Peter's tomb and growing to a small "trophy," and to two successively larger basilicas. The section on the search for Saint Peter's tomb is especially well done, with computer graphics used to explain the location of a 1st-century necropolis beneath the basilica's massive dome. The Swiss Guard is depicted through the eyes of the young men who swear to defend the Pope with their lives. It is also depicted via the tailor who must design each of their 100+ piece uniforms. You will meet Arturo Marti, the Vatican photographer, view some of his quietly-touching photographs and accompany him to a papal audience with visiting dignitaries. You will meet the Franciscan nun who has devoted decades of her life to hand-restoring some of the Vatican's priceless artworks. You will encounter the Sampietrini workers, who labor unsung to clean the floors and haul the massive draperies used during beatification and canonization ceremonies. And you will glimpse the Holy Father himself as he ordains another crop of bishops who follow in the footsteps of the Apostles to do Christ's work on earth.
"Inside the Vatican" is a loving look at part of the Church's material edifice. The film does not sugarcoat the real-life historical excess of those who walked its marbled corridors. Crusades, Inquisitions and venality -- all parts of the human experience -- have colored the history of the place. Yet one would have to be a rabidly anti-Catholic polemicist (or just plain stone-hearted) not to admire the craft, effort, love and piety that also went into shaping these hallowed palaces.
"Inside the Vatican" is a wonderful choice for Catholic Sunday school teachers who wish to impart a bit of the positive side of the institutional Church to their students.

St. Teresa of Avila Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Finally this great mini series is coming out on DVD. I first saw it on EWTN and then found a copy on VHS and watch it all the time. Even though this series came out in 1983, it is timeless in its telling of the incrediable life of this great saint. It is vivid in the portrayal of Teresa and the world she lived in. Concha Velasco is brilliant as Teresa, revealing to us a saint that was both very human and at the same time a great mystic. She shows us a woman who was struggling with inner demons as her spiritual vocation was evolving towards the union she shared with her God as well as the difficulties of the era she lived in and the re-organization of the Carmelite order she was a part of and that had turned away from its original austere charisma. She found herself with enemies on both sides of the spectrum, from the laity as well as her own religious communities. Only a few churchmen and nuns along with St. John of the Cross understood her mission. Another enemy fighting against her was her own body as she was always sickly throughout her life, getting worse as she grew older. For anyone interested in the life and spirituality of Teresa of Avila, this series is for you.

St. Giuseppe Moscati: Doctor to the Poor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are looking for a biography of St. Moscati, as I was, then you'll likely be disappointed, as this is a fictionalized account of his life. The story line in the movie adds a love interest and an intention to marry that Moscati never had rather than showing that he took a private vow of chastity, wanted to enter a religious order, and embraced a vocation to the single life when it was discerned that he was called to remain in the world as a physician. While it shows another doctor conscripted into the army, it doesn't show that Moscati volunteered to serve and that he treated many wounded soldiers. The movie has him reject teaching in favor of caring for patients, but in actuality, he did both. Until the very end of the movie, it doesn't mention his belief that a doctor must treat the soul as well as (in fact, before) the body, when that was his foundational philosophy of medicine. The movie shows his writing prescriptions for food and medicine, but not for the sacraments (confession, Eucharist), as he was known for doing. It also never showed him going to Mass, as he did every day. Nor, did it show any priests or religious patients, whom he also treated for free. The movie depicted Moscati as being unpopular, ridiculed and looked down upon by his peers when, in fact, he was greatly admired and respected. The movie does a good job of showing his love and charity for the poor, giving his time, money and assets for them, but sometimes his character comes off as uncaring toward the other people in his life. In short, while the movie is well made and compelling, it is not an accurate portrayal of the life of St. Moscati.

Edith Stein: The Seventh Chamber Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This movie is not the regular hagiographical tearjerker that is usually the stuff we can expect on the lives of Saints. Now don't get me wrong.....I do love the tearjerkers! This movie is so different. Powerful acting, dramatic settings, the works. No wonder it picked up a few prizes at the Venice Film Festival back in 1995!
A solitary train traveling in a frigid countryside, a Carmelite nun (Edith Stein) staring into the camera in a semi-shadow, a young Edith Stein walking to a picturesque church to be baptized whereas a Carmelite nun (herself) with her face veiled looks into the church at the motions.....these powerful shots mark the beginning of this fantastic movie.
This movie is very clever in the fact that it is able to capture the present (1933 beginning of Nazi power and persecution)with its fear and uncertainties without ignoring the early life of Edith. Fast paced we get to see within 15 or so minutes her upbringing, her family's orthodox Jewish faith and her strength of character and soul. Also the painful realities of the sense of betrayal that the family feels at Edith's conversion can be keenly felt and is expressed superbly, as she is misunderstood by her University colleagues, family and later her fellow nuns as trying to escape the persecution and seeking an 'easy way out'.
We also see her struggles in adapting herself to conventual life.....it is so realistically played that amidst Edith's pain and sorrow, we can take a pause and smile.....for in her we recognize a person who was truly an academic and had not done a day's servile work in her past!But even in this she is victorious.What makes her victorious? Her desire to love her Lord Jesus, deny herself, carry her cross and follow Him!
And so the movie goes on.
The Seven chambers described by Saint Teresa de Jesus of Avila is so well explained first directly in a scene and in an abstract manner towards the end that the whole experience becomes surreal.
Regarding the picture quality....do not expect HD type of print. It is a little grainy considering that it is 15 years old, but even this has its own charms. It renders it a certain sense of nostalgia. It is 110 minutes long, in Italian with English and Spanish subtitles.
This DVD has no special features though it comes with 16 page booklet that has a film essay, a biography of Saint Edith Stein and study questions. I also comes with a prayer card with quotes by the saint on the reverse.
To conclude this is a poignant, powerful portrayal of a great saint, convert, martyr and philosophical genius of the 20th century.....and at the end one wishes just to be silent and ponder, meditate and marvel at a great gift given by God in a period of great darkness and inhumanity.
This movie is for everyone and anyone who is a student of Carmelite studies and of the Teresian school of thought....and of course a way to first know a much over looked saint who lived in the not so distant past.
Santa Teresia Benedicta a Cruce, ora pro nobis!
St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. pray for us!

This DVD contains the following language tracks: Italian with English or Spanish subtitles
This is a moving, artistic portrayal of the life of Jewish philosopher, Catholic convert and Carmelite martyr, Edith Stein, capturing the interior struggles of this extraordinary woman, as well as the great conflicts from her decision to convert to Catholicism. Deeply influenced by the writings of St. Teresa of Avila, she joined the Carmelites and took the name of Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, and was put to death in Auschwitz in 1942, and canonized by John Paul II in 1998. This film shows how two worlds were united within her, the Jew and the Christian, in absolute coherence in her search for truth. She has become one of the most beautiful symbols in a horrifying period of history who sought to transform her sufferings under the Nazis into a journey through the "interior castle" as the way to mystical union with God. One phrase, "Love Conquers Fear" embodies her philosophy of life. Shot in a kind of a rich expressionist realism, it's backed by poignant chant music that makes every frame haunting and alive. Actress Maia Morgenstern (The Passion of the Christ) stars in a powerful performance as Stein. Includes a 16 page Collector's Booklet by Steven Greydanus and Carl Olson.

A Christmas Carol (Ultimate Collector's Edition)(B/W & Color) (1951) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I only discovered this movie about four years ago but have watched it every Christmas since. To me it's the best version of the Christmas Carol ever made, and now it gets the best treatment you could have ever hoped for. This two disc collector's edition contains two different versions of this movie. First is the colorized version, but then the second is the real treat. They went back to the original prints of this and worked from there. After carefully removing the skips, scratches, and jerky frames, they digitally restored the movie to a version that looks as if it were made yesterday! The sound has been changed to 5.1 digital surround, and there's even a widescreen version for 16:9 televisions.
The special features include an earlier version of Christmas Carol (not as good as this one), as well as several featurettes on the movie, interviews with the stars, a feature on Alistair Sim, and others.
You can tell the distributor put a lot of effort into this restoration and it shows. I wish they'd do the same for other great films like "It's a Wonderful Life" and "The Bishop's Wife".
Highly recommended as the best version of this classic you'll find anywhere.

St. Peter (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent Movie, this movie taught me so much about the Apostles Peter, Paul and how they came to KNOW that Jesus Christ was son of God and the relationship Christ had with them. I cried, Omar Sharif was a perfect Peter, as his eyes express so much of the feelings that were experienced when he denied Christ (3) times and also told him he loved him (3) times. The pace of the movie is excellent, the acting superb, and most of all the historical representation (especially the Romans and the Christians),in this cinematic film captures the essence of Christ, and how those closest to him came to KNOW he was son of God and how the Holy Spirit touched those Christians after his resurecction. I would highly recommend this film!
