Greetings to religion, or Call for a mass consciousness of the inadmissibility of violence in the family Commenting on a film on this topic is a thankless exercise, I think. That is why there are few reviews here. In addition, some moments could remain misunderstood by our viewer. Although the picture was noted by critics, including local Spanish.
The film is about the irreversible consequences of the complex relationship between mother and son. This is more of a drama than a detective. Some atmosphere gives her voice-over music, but without much immersion.
It's a drama about relationships almost everywhere and between everyone. At work, in families, in the personal life of one man, another woman, visitors. It's also a social drama of people below the middle class, with shabby apartments and cheap diners in almost every way. But without that despondency, which is well recognized by us as consumers of domestic cinema.
The chosen setting, the arrival of the Pope, and the piety shown on the screen of the Spaniards form a kind of ironic image of the plot when a series of murders is superimposed on it. The film’s authors seem to appeal to religion and the most important bearers of its attributes: “Watch how detectives conduct business, understanding the psychology of the killer and his victims.” For years you have been blind to Mass and continue to cover up for your actions and those of your predecessors. "
The pace of events increases in the second half of screen time and as a result leads the viewer to devastation, shock. In the end, however, the authors convey another greeting to religion.
The effect of watching this drama is inseparable from the evaluation. If you have retained the opportunity to reason impartially and compare with other examples in the cinema, then, I think, the filmmakers are unlikely to think that they were very successful.
And, yes, this is a message to the mass audience in a language that is understandable to her, without trying to give the film excessive atmosphericity of the movie, intrigue, which should be admired. This is not a thriller, and to a lesser extent a detective story, but a personal drama that should touch everyone who is raising children or at least thinking about it.
