W imie… (IN THE NAME OF)

VENUE: MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS

TIME: 8:00 PM

Małgośka Szumowska’s visually powerful film, charged with striking imagery from Christ’s Passion, dares to broach the still taboo topic of homosexuality in the priesthood. Adam is a Catholic priest who discovered his calling as a servant of God at the relatively late age of 21. Confronted with his ‘forbidden’ desires, her protagonist experiences both moments of bliss and utter despair. A film about confused emotions, repression and loneliness – and the possibility of perhaps finding oneself after all.

Directed by Małgorzata Szumowska. Poland. 2012. 102 min. Polish with English subtitles.

Told with humor and artistic flair, A MAP FOR A TALK explores the struggle to understand and accept those we love.
