Let's celebrate for the existence of this movie in this frustrating production of silly cheap films, which not only decrease our taste, but also made us to think like a machine. We will forget the pure goal of picture and in this case, cinema. Maybe some think that there is no goal, and the cinema picture anything without any purpose, I do respect them but i don't think like this. Anyway, this movie is different. it isn’t a Hollywood product but it has a very strong structure. The cinematography is brilliant in this movie and compositions are well designed. It couldn’t be a miracle, just a well ordered schedule could result this output. The frames are really like to photos and its not happening by chance. I read somewhere that the movie was shot originally in color first, but then on post-production procedure the crew decided to alter to black and white; what a good decision it was! I haven't seen the color scenes and they have not been released; and I hope this won’t happen! Because i feel the movie this way, believe me or not it was a great feeling, i suggest you not to lose this chance.
The drama on this movie is the one you may seek for, but haven't achieved yet. The crew is wonderful. I liked the Pastor role and its powerful actor Burghart Klaußner. He played his role very effectively and you can track his emotion on his face but not on his dialogs. The screen play was also drastic. This movie has won the Palme d'Or at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival.
Truly deserved and more than that. Highly recommended!
