Spiritual Journey
This is a film you don't realize how much you like until its over. Sounds strange-but in many ways this is a strange film. Not strange bad, but unlike anything you may have seen. I didn't realize what the film was REALLY about until the end. Its about one man's spiritual journey and his quest to find his place in life,to find love, but mostly about his quest to find meaning in religion. But the religious theme is quite subtle. At first it just seems like a drawn-out story about a lonely homosexual boy and frankly I was bored with it for a while. But I can highly recommend it, I don't beleive I have seen many films that deal with a person's quest for a meaningful religious belief quite like this one. It is not an upbeat story. But the acting is top-notch. Jeremy Irons is perfect in his role. Don't think his character is just a doe doe with nothing to say. He is quiet and introspective and seeking truth.
