I never saw the Milky Way, so can't comment on your impression of that one, but you propose an interesting gambit -
"Well, perhaps, and I am definitely not highly educated in these, but to me a movie should be able to touch someone at more than just intellectual level. Otherwise it becomes information transfer vehicle and not art.When I look at a great paiting of an old Italian master, I may not know the particular myth behind it, but that doesn't stop me from seeing it as art. If the story gets in the way of senses, then it is the wrong brain hemisphere that is addressed.

Am I too wrong here?"

I don't think there are wrongs and rights here, Viktor.
Paraphrasing Ellington - "There are two kinds of movies, good and bad."
There's nothing wrong with an intellectual film(some Bergman and Tarkovsky aren't digestible by most people, even the ones who've heard/read Strindberg, Swedenborg, Soloviev or Pascal). There are 2 ways of going about this.

1.You say that you aren't educated in the matters of Catolicism. Read a few good books and then perhaps see the same film in a different light. Same with those math problems; to an average Joe they are out of this world, to you they are pure enjoyment, because you know how to deal with them. The more educated you get in these matters, the more enjoyment you receive. No?
From here another problem arises - even if you dig those movies, math problems, constellations, chinese checkers, there will be few who will share your pleasure.:))

2.Forget about it and enjoy Belle Du Jour(The older I get the more I tend to follow the second pathway).

P.S. If you are interested in heresies(other than the ones you have read on this board far too many a time), witchcraft and clandestine movements in the Western Europe of the dark to middle ages, I can dig out a couple of really cool books that, I assure you, you would really be hip to.
