A Profound Reflection on Forgiveness
This is my favorite movie. It acknowledges the suffering and darkness that fills our lives because of both our personal failings and the violence others inflict upon us; at the same time it shows how the mystery of compassion and forgiveness can bring about an experience of profound communion with others. The only movie I've ever seen that I would characterize as authentically "Eucharistic" in spirit.
