 in many a moon. A young killer is released and through a fortuitous series of circumstances, is mistaken as the priest sent to a remote village to spell the sick local pastor. Once there, he finds he has the strange talent of being able to truly influence people's lives--- and these townsfolk are in dire need of it: before his arrival, a car wreck killed a group of local kids. The driver allegedly responsible died in the crash and his mother has been ostracized.

There actually have been true stories of such mistaken identities, certainly. This one succeeds because of the amazing talent of the young actor, Bartosz Bielenia. NO young actor comes close to this guy's range.

To those in doubt: Poland has a very good film industry: "Ida" won the Best Foreign Language Film only 2 years ago...

 ...when I saw Ashes and Diamonds.

BTW, I wanted to ask the participants to mention the resources - where did you see that one?


 

I saw on "Criterion Channel." Google says it's also on Netflix,, posted on November 24, 2020 at 07:12:39

"Ashes and Diamonds:" what a beautiful, haunting film. A terrific counterpoint to, "Breathless." The equally-as-charismatic-as-Belmondo lead met a horrific end, in "real life."

 

Thank you, will make a suggestion to the lady. nt, posted on November 24, 2020 at 07:35:36
