The Vessel

A spiritual film that tries to cleanse a fishing village affected by tragedy of all evil. Personally, I can’t even imagine what such a village might look like after years. But movie-wise, it’s not really a win. Although you’ll be dazzled by the charismatic Father Martin Sheen, his little sheep will make you depressed after only five minutes and after another ten, you would be hanging yourself off the nearest banana tree. A very unapproachable movie. (07/11/2016)

Such a strange film. On the one hand, I'm not particularly fond of these slow-paced films that try to make you think, but on the other hand, this one somehow intrigued me with something. To some extent, it's the presence of Martin Sheen, but on the other hand, it's also the poetic nature of the whole film, which unfortunately leads to a somewhat awkward ending. (03/02/2017)
