A priest returns to his old neighbourhood.
Sinekatalog’s take
Nanni Moretti's comedy-drama follows a young priest returning to his old neighbourhood and failing to fix his friends' and family's troubles. Warm, wry and sad, with Moretti himself, it is a gentle tragicomedy of faith and failure.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
