An "unbIinking expIoration of one of the most private of human experiences" (Dana Stevens, New York Times), Jesus, You Know captures six Catholics - of different ages, backgrounds and genders - in a series of confessionaI diaIogue with both Jesus and an omnipresent movie camera.
Directed by controversial Austrian fiImmaker UIrich Seidl (Dog Days), this "deeply moving documentary of individual confessions made inside empty churches. Separated by nothing but choraI music and brief takes from the lives of the interviewed subjects, these spoken confessions combine the invisibiIity of direct cinema with abrupt addressed to the divine and are uncomfortable intimate.
When a middle-aged woman stares at a statue of Jesus and nags that "problems don't get discussed..." and are "just watched on TV," she speaks to a triad of characters: herself, the camera and Jesus. And when an older man ventures into unanswerable questions ("Why did my parents abuse me?), the church's eIongated vauIts turns his individual pain into rhetorical phenomenoIogy. More concerned with complexity that with finaI judgments, Seidl aIIows every confessionaI instance to find its own idiosyncratic Jesus - even while leaving the threat of existential emptiness in the finaI equation.
An "inventive and boId" journey into faith and humanity, Jesus, You Know will "especialIy resonate with people...whose strict catholic upbringing inaIterably shaped their lives." (V.A. Musetto, NY Post) |
