leveck ended up directing this civil war film , “from cows to calvary , ” in 2000 while he was a high school senior . he funded the film by selling tickets to the premiere at the showplace theater in mattoon and by going door to door asking his neighbors for donations .
mcdonagh has called the film “basically bresson’s diary of a country priest with a few gags thrown in , ” and the film name - checks catholic novelist georges bernanos , whose novel bresson’s film is based on . like diary of a country priest , calvary is about a good priest in a small village where attitudes toward him range from benign indifference to contempt and abuse .

irish animated short ‘the missing scarf’ has also been nominated – in the category of ‘best european short’ . the short has already had an impressive year amassing numerous international awards including wins at the san francisco film festival , savannah film festival , valladolid film festival , and many others . it garnered awards nationally too at the galway film fleadh , cork film festival and the foyle film festival . it was also nominated for best short at this year’s iftas and was shortlisted for the 2014 academy award for best animated short .
it is of course , elia kazan ' s on the waterfront , a film whose themes of brotherly loyalty and political betrayal have become so integral to the american film that another brilliant film , 1980 ' s raging bull , is so unashamedly inspired by it that the protagonist of the latter film recites the indelible lines of the taxicab scene .

ahern’s film , like her books , may not be to everyone’s taste . but , like mrs brown’s boys and ryanair , her success is an impressive irish export . the television film , shot last summer in ireland , was a valuable boost for the irish film industry .
the movie is also the fifth highest grossing film to go on general release in ireland .
searchlight noted of calvary’s weekend bow : “the opening - weekend figures fall right in line with our expectations , especially when compared to john michael’s last film , also starring brendan gleeson , the guard . based on the very good reviews — 91 % on rotten tomatoes — we expect the film to play well through august as we roll out the film on a limited - platform basis . ” the distributor said calvary had the weekend’s second - highest pta , behind only disney’s mammoth debut guardians of the galaxy with a $ 23k average .

brendan gleeson delivers a typically towering yet warm performance in
calvary .
too bad the movie ' s something of a mess .
‘calvary’ is a dark comedy that follows priest father james lavelle ( gleeson ) who is tormented by various members of his sligo parish .
however yann demange ' s debut film ' 71 leads the nominations with a total of nine gongs .
directed by matthew warchus , the film is in categories including best supporting actress and best supporting actor .
while not named in the film , the elderly american writers name is ryan according to the screenplay .
perhaps it makes more sense to regard the film not as an allegory , but as a parable .
the comments , which were first noted by urltoken back in august , surfaced again last night . both fans and figures from the film industry alike have taken issue with mcdonagh’s statements , with many noting the hypocrisy of accepting funding from the irish film board , while categorising it as “not an irish film” .
calvary is both darkly comic and deeply sad . and it ' s well worth 10 of your dollars and 100 minutes of your time .
justin chang of variety magazine praised gleeson for his soulful performance , called the film a
masterful follow - up to the guard
, and predicted near - certain critical plaudits into a distinguished arthouse reception for the film . tim griersen of screen international also praised gleeson for his performance and the film , calling it
a rich character drama that ' s equally eloquent and despairing , calvary carries a weary resignation that feels lived - in and deeply considered .
he cautions that the film might prove to be a hard sell as it examines religious faith and does not fit in an easily marketable genre . xan brooks of the guardian comments on the self - referential nature of the film , and also calls the film
terrific ( at least until the denouement , when it rather strains for grandeur )
. brooks gives the film 4 / 5 .
there ' s a lot to process with this film . first off , the performances are wonderful , and that ' s saying a lot for a film full of such a variety of characters . rarely do i say that i would be interested to see a film based on any character in a film , but that ' s certainly true here : wonderfully written , completely interesting and fully realized . topping that off with an incredible performance by brendan gleeson who carries the film , and it ' s a winner .
screening in the sundance film festival’s premieres section , calvary might prove a difficult sell for a couple reasons : it’s a serious look at religious faith , and it doesn’t reside in an easily marketable genre . still , this film would seem a solid art - house offering , especially with reviews highlight gleeson’s performance . and even the nonreligious will appreciate the film’s existential uncertainty , its bleak musings about living in a world without any sense of justice or reason .
the 2014 european film awards will be held on december 13th in riga , european capital of culture 2014 .
this ambitious¬†project was realised by film limerick project manager , ronan cassidy , and irish writer and director gerry stembridge , with the assistance of behind the scenes . the trilogy of films has brought together both professional and aspiring¬†film makers in limerick to create a film cultural legacy that organisers hope will continue for many years to come .
. this week might be even weaker . there is only one film earning a good amount of buzz ,
praising calvary for its treatment of its weighty thematic elements , lauren ely for first things wrote :
is it possible for a film to capture the horror of the sexual abuse scandal in the catholic church while at the same time presenting a case for the necessity of the institutional priesthood ? against all odds , this is exactly what irish director john michael mcdonagh ' s calvary manages to do .
irish comedian dylan moran has joined the cast of john michael mcdonagh’s ‘calvary’ , which is one week into a five - week shoot in co sligo .
the movie calvary is the most successful irish movie at the box office so far this year , grossing close to €1 . 5 million last year .
john mcdonagh says
calvary
isn ' t irish . . . because it isn ' t shit . any thoughts , @ irishfilmboard ? ! urltoken
“we made a great film . in fox searchlight , we now have a great company behind us to send that film out into the world . thank you , sundance . thank you , bourbon ! onward , ” said mcdonagh .
calvary’s main flaw is that it feels a little overstuffed with character eccentricities , notably in the anthony perkins twitchiness of the sexually frustrated milo or rent - boy leo’s relentless cagney impersonations . but gleeson’s magnificent intensity and the palpable wit and intelligence of the film’s conception make calvary an audacious advance on the guard . this is not only a provocatively involving thriller but a true rarity in cinema – a genuinely compelling moral and theological investigation .
echoes of gleeson’s boyle add resonance to calvary , where we perceive father james ( his name only revealed late in the film , in a casual aside ) as all the more plausible an embodiment of good because he’s knocked about a bit . father james is , calvary suggests , the best sort of priest , one who has been both of the world and in it , and who has chosen to reject the secular life from a position of experience : surely a more robust role model for an endangered profession than the etiolated young sufferer of bresson’s film .
calvary is a black comedy drama in which a priest is told that he is going to be killed and is given time to place his affairs in order .
i would like to thank the irish film board , and the bfi [ british film institute ] , for their continuing support for filmmaking that seeks to escape from the tiresome , rarefied confines of dublin 4 . up the west !

the deal was brokered by fox searchlight’s executive vice president of worldwide acquisitions tony safford , senior vice president of business affairs megan o’brien and vice president of acquisitions & co - productions ray strache with uta independent film group and protagonist pictures on behalf of the film .
given the title — “calvary” is the name of the hill in jerusalem , also called golgotha , where christ was crucified — a messianic interpretation of the film seems inevitable . gleeson’s priest offers himself up as a sacrifice to redeem the sins of his fellow clergy , and of just about everyone else in town .
a grueling tale of morality drenched in unflinching heartache and humour , calvary is a beautifully shot character study set in ireland following the death threat of a
good - natured
priest . brendan gleeson was always a personal favourite of mine and here he truly shines , carrying this film in a career best .
john michael mcdonagh ' s calvary left me in two minds , unable to decide whether it was a transcendental and incredibly mature drama or a scattershot , arch and tonally chaotic one .
calvary also stars marie josée crozé , isaach de bankolé , aidan gillen , domhnall gleeson , dylan moran , chris o ' dowd , kelly reilly , pat shortt and david wilmot .

leveck said “the cleansing hour” will be a proof of concept film that will show possible producers the potential for a feature - length version . he said this film also will serve as a “calling card” for the quality of work created by him and his fellow collaborators .
the film’s coastlines and fields – shot by larry smith , sometimes in ominously swooping aerial shots – echo wyeth’s landscape paintings , and one can see how the questioning of brutality and inhumanity might be influenced by austrian - born essayist améry and his writing on the holocaust . as for bresson , calvary has a livelier tone than “transcendental style” might suggest . mcdonagh has also described his film as “bresson’s diary of a country priest with a few gags thrown in” . gags apart , it might be more accurately summed up as a hybrid between bresson’s diary and high noon – calvary too climaxes in its solitary hero striding alone to his appointed showdown .
calvary deeply probes questions of faith , transgression , and forgiveness , but it doesn ' t forget to accompany those with laugh lines that are as jolting as any shot of irish whiskey .
calvary seems to be arguing for most of its running time that we are here on this planet alone , left to our own devices to make the best of messy , unimportant lives .
the question is complicated by a key difference between calvary and diary of a country priest : the ambiguity of the denouement . where bresson’s protagonist emerges at the far side of his dark night of the soul with a profound experience of transcendence and an unambiguous affirmation that “all is grace , ” calvary ends , in a way , with what might be called a question mark .
a deafening , calm , and challenging work of character building and complex screenwriting ; calvary is a film that filled me more with admiration than anything else . brendan gleeson gives a performance beyond words , and even with so many wonderful performances this year , his work here is the best i ' ve seen in 2014 . overall , in spite of some characters that felt
off
, the film as a whole is quite good . however , it definitely isn ' t one that i will be returning to very often . don ' t put you off from seeing it though , its one beautiful film .
, but very few thought it would have one of the top five openings of the year . additionally , the film earned some of the best
the movie also had the highest weekend figures of any irish film released in 2014 , and was also the fifth highest grossing film to go on general release in ireland , coming behind the lego movie , the wolf of wall street , 12 years a slave and the amazing spiderman 2 .
calvary director john michael mcdonagh has come under fire for comments he made in which he distanced himself from irish films and stated that he didn’t find other irish films to be “technically accomplished” or “intelligent” .
fox searchlight ‘s calvary handily topped the few other specialty titles debuting this weekend , though results for the drama — about a priest facing vengeful death threats for the crimes of others — were by no means heavenly . the film starring brendan gleeson and chris o’dowd and directed by john michael mcdonagh grossed $ 72k in four theaters for an $ 18k pta .
with both their performances in the imitation game receiving nods from critics , keira knightley and benedict cumberbatch have earned nominations for the british independent film awards .
in “calvary , ” gleeson will play a priest who becomes a pariah in his community after an abuse scandal . mcdonagh says , “there are probably films in development about priests which involve abuse . my remit is to do the opposite of what other people do , and i wanted to make a film about a good priest . ” the film marks a break from his debut , saying that it’s “in the same darkly comedic vein as ‘the guard , ’ but with a much more serious and dramatic narrative . ”
the film also includes infrequent portrayals of drug use . in one scene a man in a pub bathroom snorts cocaine , and in another two men share a cannabis joint . however , the film as a whole neither promotes nor encourages drug misuse . there are references to domestic violence and one character is seen with a bruised eye . there are also a number of dialogue references to suicide , but neither the individual references nor the film as a whole encourages suicide .

is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice , telling a story of startling cruelty . what a space it opens…
when you’re making a film , you’re trying to convince the irish audience , ‘no , it’s not like all those terrible irish movies you’ve seen before . ’
@ unamullally too right . and the irish film board = irish tax payer . but his films reflect his disgust at all things irish so no surprise .
billed as a dark comedy drama , mcdonagh ' s calvary began shooting in county sligo , ireland , this week and also includes domhnall gleeson ( anna karenina , true grit ) , pat shortt and david wilmot .
calvary opens with one the most excruciating lines of dialogue i can recall ever hearing in any film . spat through a confessional grille , it comes like a stinging slap on the face , both to the audience and to father james lavelle . cautiously , the priest turns the other cheek . in doing so , he implicitly extends an invitation to viewers to do the same .
the feature has received support from the irish film board with mcdonagh and octagon films offered a €975 , 000 production loan in the last round of ifb funding .
confessional : the film starts with father james expecting to hear a normal confession , only to hear a man abused by a dead priest threatening to murder him .
a romantic short film , date : time , was written by philip shanahan and directed by paul corey . it features local actors mark griffin and erica murray .
“the film made me think about redemption . and that’s a good thing . it may seem bleak , but i don’t think it is a bleak story . ”
calvary is infused with much the same wild - west - of - ireland flavour , though this time the base note is a lament for a nation left rudderless having lost faith in economic prosperity and the catholic church .
depictions of ireland have long been mired in cliche . now jimmy ' s hall ' s , the story of 1930s activist jimmy gralton , and calvary , an unflinching look at the ailing celtic tiger , break new ground
calvary was awarded a €1 million production loan in the third quarter of 2012 , while the guard received a €600 , 000 production loan in 2009 , as well as €125 , 000 funding from a regional support fund .
both films were shot on location in ireland , boasted a primarily irish cast and employed irish crew . calvary earned €1 . 6 million at the irish box office , while the guard took in more than €4 million .
like , i’m not a big fan of irish movies . i don’t find them to be technically that accomplished and i don’t find them that intelligent . i’m trying to get away from the description of the movie as an irish film . it’s not an irish film . it’s just set in ireland with lots of irish characters .
set in county sligo on the west coast of ireland , calvary confronts the impact of the clerical sex - abuse scandal on the church in ireland and the role of the church in increasingly secular , post - christian ireland .
fox searchlight has acquired u . s . rights and select international rights to john michael mcdonagh’s dramedy “calvary , ” which premiered jan . 19 at the sundance film festival . the deal , which was made for a reported $ 2 . 5 million , marks the second acquisition for fox searchlight in as many days . the distrib also bought worldwide rights to mike cahill’s sci - fi mystery “i origins . ” “calvary” stars brendan gleeson as a good - natured priest whose world is put into disarray after being threatened during a confession . pic co - stars chris o’dowd ( “bridesmaids” ) and kelly reilly ( “flight” ) .
“we’ve found the perfect home for the film and are thrilled to be working with steve and nancy and their wonderful team at fox searchlight , ” said fernandez marengo .
one of my favourites , a great film , gleeson shows his amazing acting abilities in places . heart renching , and funny . a 5 * movie for me .
interestingly , john mcdonagh ' s decided his films aren ' t irish at the exact point he doesn ' t need irish taxpayers to fund his next bad film .
as an incorrigible cinophile and a life - long catholic , there are few things that fill me with as much trepidation as watching a film about a catholic priest .
brendan gleeson delivers “a truly sensational performance” ( total film ) in this “wickedly funny black comedy” ( time out ) from acclaimed writer - director john michael mcdonagh ( the guard ) . when a good priest ( gleeson ) is threatened by a mysterious member of his parish , he feels sinister forces closing in and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal calvary .
shout out : one scene has a shot of a newspaper clipping referring to
two hitmen hunted over dublin murders
. this is a reference to in bruges , which was directed by the brother of calvary ' s director .
the first time i saw calvary , i assumed it was inspector stanton : and furthermore , this would be foreshadowing his reveal as father lavelle ' s eventual killer . i largely based this assumption on their conversation regarding the webley :
a thing of rich and raw beauty isn ' t usually found in cinemas at this time of year . it ' s predominantly a period when brash blockbusters try to numb our minds and perfunctory cash grabs attempt to pry open our wallets . but john michael mcdonagh ' s calvary defies this logic vehemently . it ' s a film that ' s imbued with staggering gorgeousness , verisimilitude and a whole heap of panache . not to oversell it , but calvary is to john michael mcdonagh what in bruges was to his brother , martin . it is , and i predict will be , one of the finest films of the year .
calvary , which comes hailed as the most significant irish film in years , announces its subject with a bang , or rather , an unprintable first line of dialogue in a confession box . “well , that’s certainly a startling opening line ! ” says our main character , father james ( brendan gleeson ) , to the lost soul spilling the beans about a terrible childhood of abuse by irish catholic priests .
the film transcends its action , branching out into a poignant , often scathing , and even occasionally blackly humorous meditation on the human condition - at its best and worst .
calvary suffers some because of its oversized ensemble , with some characters not having enough screen time to stand out . but reilly is good as the priest’s daughter whose own troubles are partly connected to his . as the film reaches its conclusion — and the question of james’s killer ( or whether he’ll carry out his threat ) still unknown — mcdonagh doesn’t try to provide sunlight amidst the grey skies . but remarkably , calvary does manage to find a slender consolation at the end that suggests how imperfect people like fiona can still bring some grace into the world . it’s not much , but in mcdonagh’s universe a little hope goes a long way .
the sundance film festival , a program of the sundance institute , is one of the largest independent film festivals in the united states and takes place annually in park city , utah . the 2014 festival will be held from january 16th to 26th . the festival awards jury and audience awards across drama , documentary and short film . one hundred and nineteen feature - length films , representing 32 countries and 51 first - time filmmakers , and 65 shorts were screened at the 2013 festival . for more information , see urltoken .
mcdonagh says that he was originally going to structure his film according to the stations of the cross , the 12 episodes in the passion of christ traditionally represented in images for the purpose of worship . “that’s too many stations , ” he says . “it would make a much longer movie , like a lars von trier film in 12 chapters . ”
calvary’s father james ( brendan gleeson ) is a good priest who is faced with sinister and troubling circumstances brought about by a mysterious member of his parish . although he continues to comfort his own fragile daughter ( kelly reilly ) and reach out to help members of his church with their various scurrilous moral – and often comic – problems , he feels sinister and troubling forces closing in , and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal calvary .
i ' ve seen this film 3 times now , and i think it ' s fairly certain that there is nothing within its text that substantiates a confirmed answer to this .
however , once you ' ve watch the film again ( with the perspective of knowing who the culprit is ) , you begin to interpret the behavior of the players differently .
gleeson — appropriately garbed in clerical black — and mcdonagh sit in a conference room at a hotel in boston , where they have been conducting interviews promoting the film . they are both in high spirits . the film has debuted in ireland , home of dublin native gleeson and where london resident mcdonagh was born , and they are pleased by the response .
we’re extremely pleased with the fantastic word of mouth and critical acclaim rich hill has received so far , ” said the orchard svp of film & tv paul davidson . “we’re excited to expand the number of engagements over the coming weeks to give audiences the opportunity to experience this engaging film . ” rich hill will be available via vod beginning august 5 .
leaning on the fourth wall : the film makes a number of self - referential comments through dialogue . father james and dr harte comment on the character
roles
they play . veronica brennan says that she ' s always wanted to be an actress . toward the end of the film , james and his daughter talk about a third - act twist .
calvary is a 2014 irish black comedy , and the second written and directed by john michael mcdonagh ( his first being the guard ) . it stars brendan gleeson as father james , as well as an ensemble cast of irish and british actors .
the film which also stars sean harris , charlie murphy and david wilmot is about a british solider who following a riot on the streets of belfast is accidentally abandoned by his unit .
the film charts the journey of o’riordan’s sister joanne as she travels to new york to give the keynote speech at the un’s international telecommunication union , despite being born with no limbs .
calvary is a rare piece of work in cinema , although i’m an atheist it doesn’t mean i can’t enjoy stories about faith , i do and especially if one is as good written as calvary . it’s a film which is meant to be dissected and redissected…and redissected once again . understandably , this will not be everyone’s cup of tea , maybe coming off as far too brutal in its satire . that said , calvary is a dark comedy taken to its satirical extreme . it’s like a modern day luis buñuel movie . john michael mcdonagh made a classic and sure will be talked about for a long time . the performance of brendon gleeson was one of the best i’ve seen from him and one of the best performances this year . the cinematography of larry smith was once again admirable who mixes up painterly compositions and skewed angles ( which i absolutely loved ) with flair . the soundtrack is also fantastically composed and bought it immediately on itunes !
friends who’ve seen the film , some of them already two or three times , have noticed the same effect . from the first frame to the last , “calvary” has an understated power – a blend of everyday pain , faith , despair , humor , candor , bitterness , and forgiveness – that brands itself onto the heart with spare simplicity . it’s also the best portrayal of a good priest in impossible circumstances i’ve seen in several decades .

my favourite episode is the one that sees ted and dougal forced by bishop brennan to protest outside the local cinema because it is screening a controversial film , the passion of st tibulus .
calvary ' s father james ( brendan gleeson ) is a good priest who is faced with sinister and troubling circumstances brought about by a mysterious member of his parish . although he continues to comfort his own fragile daughter ( kelly reilly ) and reach out to help members of his church with their various scurrilous moral - and often comic - problems , he feels sinister and troubling forces closing in , and begins to wonder if he will have the courage to face his own personal calvary . ( c ) fox searchlight
the tension of calvary is fitful at best , and much of the movie trips into silliness , but in brendan gleeson - - in his proud bearing and his lamenting gaze - - we see the plight of the lonely believer in a world beyond belief .
calvary , the terrific new film from writer - director john michael mcdonagh , is a whodunnit with a difference , a black comedy with aspirations , merrily lifting its name from the small hill outside jerusalem where jesus was slain . calvary : the title serves notice and puts the viewer on guard . it flashes like the final destination on the front of a bus , as mcdonagh proceeds to steer us back and forth along the west coast of ireland , veering between the profane and the sacred , the damned and divine . we know where this is leading , whether we like it or not . your best advice is to sit back , hang on to your rosary beads and enjoy the ride while it lasts .

this is a dark film in every way . if it has a thread then it is one that has to be sought out and really concentrated upon , bewildering characters playing hide and seek .
los angeles - - mattoon native damien leveck is preparing to direct a short horror film , “the cleansing hour , ” and is raising funds via kickstarter to help bring this project to fruition .
calvary honestly , for those of you who haven ' t seen this film , go and see it . it ' s absolutely fantastic ! brendan gleeson gives a stunning performance as a troubled priest who has to come to terms with something shocking that he has been told will happen . it paints a brutal , realistic and yet original picture of modern ireland . all the characters in the film are exaggerated representations of the types of people you get in ireland today imo . the story is touching , emotional , real and unforgettable . my favourite film of 2014 so far . if you liked in bruges or the guard or even seven psychopaths , see this film . it ' s darker than all three of those films and it ' s hard to watch at times but honestly , it ' s worth it . a beautifully dark film , with lashings of black humour and some lovely one liners . just make sure to laugh at the appropriate parts , some viewers in my cinema laughed at the opening line ! ( once / if you see it you ' ll understand ) i hope audiences outside of the uk and ireland can enjoy it . i implore you to see it . 9 / 10 , a must see !
hallelujah , thank heavens , mcdonagh ' s film is terrific ( at least until the denouement , when it rather strains for grandeur ) . just like the guard ( the director ' s 2011 debut ) , calvary boasts a sharp sense of place and a deep love of language . it ' s puckish and playful , mercurial and clever , rattling with gallows laughter as it paints a portrait of an irish community that is at once intimate and alienated .
he also says christians do feel , to some extent , that they are “fair game” for supposedly comic attacks and that they feel they are getting “battered a bit” . as a corrective to this , i’d suggest catching up with calvary – a film that came out last year starring brendan gleeson as a decent priest who is not only held up as a good man , but also presented as the moral centre of an anarchic , vulgar and unhappy secular world .
good shepherd : father james is a good man who tries to watch over his congregation . through the course of the film , however , he discovers that no one wants to be looked after .
also , as to the answer to who killed the dog , it is said that at the film’s premiere , mcdonagh gave a hint by pointing out dr . harte’s bandaged hand in the epilogue .
some of the trainees have already received¬†new opportunities and offers to work on professional productions around the country , which has cemented the early success of the film limerick training scheme before it has even completed .
when asked for comment , james hickey , chief executive of the irish film board , did not address mcdonagh’s comments , but did stand behind the board’s support of mcdonagh’s films . he told urltoken :
brendan gleeson is an actor beloved by directors ; he’s collaborated with the likes of anthony minghella and martin scorsese . but perhaps no filmmaker has served him better than john michael mcdonagh , who cast gleeson as the lead in the dark comedy “ the guard , ” which went on to become the most profitable film in irish history . now , gleeson is earning some of the best reviews of a very heralded career for his new collaboration with mcdonagh , “ calvary . ”
a limited number of tickets for the opening gala screening of calvary are currently on sale at urltoken and are selling fast . festival season tickets , gift vouchers and tickets for other selected jdiff galas at the savoy cinema are also on sale now from the official jdiff site .
calvary blew me away at the screening yesterday . it surprisingly reminded me a lot of the 1961 movie ‘viridiana’ from legendary spanish director luis buñuel . after the screening i talked with people about the plot and meaning , i want to thank those people for giving me a proper understanding of the movie . i decided to write it all down and since my enemy analysis was a great success , i decided to make a second but smaller analysis of calvary . i hope you enjoy / understand it and remember it is my interpretation of this movie .
with “i origins , ” which searchlight announced it also plans to launch this year , the company now has eight potential releases in 2014 , including “calvary , ” the second feature for mcdonagh , whose debut “the guard” was acquired by sony pictures classics at sundance in 2011 .
full credit to mcdonagh for keeping these pieces in play . the london - born film - maker made a bracing debut with 2011 ' s the guard , casting gleeson as an unruly cop at large in connemara . and yet calvary , praise be , is on a different plane altogether . here is a film with a deep love of language and a sharp sense of place ; a puckish little tease that first purrs with pleasure and then shows us its claws . mcdonagh bills this as the second part of his
glorified suicide trilogy
, although it might more readily be viewed as a rueful wake for the catholic church , mired in scandal , its authority waning .
' calvary ' , directed by john michael mcdonagh , is a blackly comic drama about a good priest tormented by his community . it is mcdonagh’s follow - up to 2011’s ' the guard ' and again stars brendan gleeson ( ' albert nobbs ' , ' studs ' ) , chris o’dowd ( ' the sapphires ' , ' bridesmaids ' ) , aidan gillen ( ' mister john ' , ' shadow dancer ' ) , dylan moran ( ' good vibrations ' , ' a film with me in it ' ) , domhnall gleeson ( ' sensation ' , ' shadow dancer ' ) and killian scott ( ' good vibrations ' , ' black ice ' ) . ' calvary ' is produced by octagon films and was filmed in sligo and dublin .
tackles weighty issues with humour , intelligence , and sensitivity .
on metacritic , the film has a score of 77 out of 100 , based on 42 critics , indicating
generally favourable reviews
.
wherever james looks , his parishioners are self - absorbed , self - righteous or just plain clueless . there’s a gentle comedy to these scenes , but calvary ’s sombre tone intentionally undercuts the laughs : for james , there’s nothing funny about his failure to elevate his fellow man .
calvary is a different proposition from his black comedy the guard , from 2011 , in which gleeson played a highly unconventional cop . it ' s bleaker and dourer – and less anti - clerical than you might expect . there are fewer laugh lines and zingers . occasionally it looks as if it is straining for maturity . the film begins with a character being reproved for irony , and ends with that same character reproving someone else for cynicism . it ' s as if mcdonagh is having an angry argument with himself about tone , attitude and about the subject matter to which these things are to be applied : modern , post - catholic ireland . calvary makes an interesting companion piece to stephen frears ' s philomena . it presents us with a satirical image of a country which is cracked and fractured into pieces , a crazy - paving that isn ' t fitting together . without the powerfully charismatic gleeson , i suspect , the film itself wouldn ' t fit together .

the bonding between a little boy and his stepmother , and their unfailing trust in each other despite trying circumstances , is brought out with a touching sensitivity in kannadi pookkal . a remake of a successful malayalam film ente veedu appoontem , kannadi pookkal is totally different from the run of the mill movies .
the director has kept the narrative tight and simple . the film may be slow for some , but the point is that such emotional dramas take time to evolve . if you are looking for speed , head for f - 1 circuit . if you like your film to be serious and sensitive , head for kannadi pookal .
you can update your channel preference from the settings menu in the header menu .
a powerful emotional drama dwelling in detail about child psychology forms the base of the film . when action flicks and romantic films are the order of the day , due credit should be given to director shahjahan for taking up such a sensitive theme .
master ashwin has carried on his good work in this tamil venture too . be it scenes pouring love and affection on his parents , emotional break down after he feels neglected following a second child born to them or during the days at reformatory schools , he is decidedly brilliant . for such a young star , his talents are precocious . parthiban and kaveri should also be complimented for a subtle performance .
the movie is all about the seven - year - old vasu ( master ashwin ) who spends his days happily with his father sakthivel ( parthiban ) and step mother meera ( kavery ) . both pour boundless love on him .
as it happens , she gives birth to a baby boy and they show the same love and affection towards the new kid . unable to tolerate the ' competition ' for parental love , vasu kills the child spraying a disinfectant .
the whole family breaks down and sinks in an emotional quagmire . eventually , vasu ' s wrongdoing comes to light and is sent to a reformatory school by the police . though his parents are initially shocked by his act , they eventually come to terms with reality and plead for their son to be sent home .
meanwhile , a psychiatrist sarath babu steps in and provides counseling to the boy . after spending some years in the reformatory school , vasu returns home one - ay to see their parents with a new kid . the rest is whether he accepts the young kid or not ?
extraordinary performance by the young boy is the highlight of the movie . he walks away with all the honours . his looks and eyes radiate all the emotions - - the scene where he ends up killing his stepbrother is as good as it gets .
parthiban and kavery just ease through in their dignified roles . a huge team including pyramid natarajan , mayil samy , m n nambiar , ponnambalam , anandh raj and fathima babu are also in the cast .

sakthivelís ( parthibhan ) family is picture perfect with wife meera ( kaveri ) and son vasu ( ashwin ) . meera dots on her son , though we come to know later that she is his stepmother . but vasu and meera share an unusual bond and they are the best of friends . when meera gives birth to a son , vasu is the happiest and he names him appu . but slowly vasu feels that appu is getting all the attention and he becomes restless and craves for attention .
one day when he feels neglected , he sprays the pesticide meant for gardening on little appu so that he gets sick . but the baby dies immediately leaving the whole family in a state of shock and despair . the sentiments of a family drama and the nail - biting suspense of a thriller come into play from this point . vasu cannot get out of the shock , and confesses to his mother about the incident . the parents realize that it was an accident and pardons him . but when the post mortem reports confirm the death as un - natural , a shrewd and sadist police officer raj kapoor investigates and takes vasu into custody . he is taken for trial and sentenced to imprisonment in the juvenile home . the parents are helpless , while vasu goes through hell inside the jail . the climax of the film is the highlight , which has to be seen in the theatre to be enjoyed .
quite clearly ashwin , the young national award winner , is the prime star of the show and he steals the clap with an author - backed role . as the jealous but loving brother , whose immature actions lead to dreadful consequences , ashwin is able to show myriad expressions . though ashwin ' s malayalam accent is a distracting factor in the initial stages , by his fine performance he manages to hold audience attention . it is another emotion - driven role for parthiban , after azhagi and thendral - the actor has given a mature performance . kaveri is a revelation as vasuís mother and she is very natural and spontaneous and is sincerity personified . sarath babu as the child psychiatrist and raj kapoor as the sincere police officer are convincing . though a remake , director shajahanís clever handling never allows even a moment of boredom to set in . the director has to be credited for casting fitting artistes for all the roles . arthur wilsonís camera is a major asset to the film . s . a . rajkumar rehashes his own tunes . the film comes as a whiff of fresh air . it is a steamy tearjerker that leaves a lump in your throat .

malayalam cinemas… . they are a breed apart and like a rainbow . at the one end of the spectrum , you have the moustache - twirling hero who performs super - natural stunts ( can’t beat the other south indian cousins in these genre , though ) and lives in his own fantasy world where the “normal” people like you and me don’t exist . people are his sidekicks , villain / s , his goondas or the victims of his atrocities or the on - lookers of the heroic antics or any permutation of these . then , there are a class of movies that come with an offbeat theme / plot to add more colors to the rainbow . many award - winning films belong to this category . these too are far away , quite far away than they imagine , from the common wo / man . they remain in the ivory tower they build for themselves . rarely comes a film , somewhere in between these two extremes , which seemingly opens up a chapter in a common person’s life and takes the story from there .

director kamal treats a sensitive subject in a mature manner , though constrained by the small canvas and the small - budget . extra - marital affair as a theme for malayalam cinema ! ! ! ! i was wondering whether it was a sales pitch to attract the average movie - goer to the theatres away from soft - porn in the times of crisis . i was sure the conservative malayalam media would have cried foul if a dialogue was uttered out of line or if the director decided to focus the camera a lil’ differently . admirable ! ! ! ! ! kamal has emphasized the undercurrents in the relationship of protagonists with great dexterity without giving a damn about the commercial compromises he could have made to make it a box - office success . but , there is no logical explanation as to why the relationship started – it is just put to nostalgia . the director adds a classy touch to end the movie without leaving the viewer in perpetual suspense ( no , i won’t reveal the end ) .
the samyukta - biju pair turns up another sterling performance . biju menon adroitly tackles the cramped mallu - male ego , which can easily mistake some good vibes for love . samyukta plays her part of a budding writer with aplomb and graces the movie with the mature touch . you have to watch their interaction in the hospital ( where they meet second time ) and you would believe that they really are strangers . poornima mohan and siddique as their respective spouses lend credibility to their parts . srinath shows flashes of his old brilliance as biju menon’s friend . ( did he purposefully mimic balachandra menon’s voice while criticizing feminist writers ? ) . the way he handles the dialogues in this scene like measured punches coming from a seasoned boxer makes you wonder is it his second coming ? ( the allusions in the dialogues to a specific malayalam writer – “lipstick grannies” – will make any viewer sit up and take notice ) .
music by ramesh narayan is just average . the three songs dished out in the name of hindustani / ghazal are jarring . one of them rendered by jithesh popular in the local ghazal circuits is the only one worth listening to . others are just the average malayalam songs . onv is his usual fabulous self with the lyrics , though .
a ray of hope for the malayalam cinema and another treat for the connoisseur .
