Absolution
“One man, two boys... one deadly game.”
DramaThrillerMystery
At a Catholic boys' school, domineering disciplinarian Father Goddard rules over his pupils with an iron hand. When one of his teenage charges confesses to murder, the dogmatic but deeply repressed Goddard finds his faith challenged and his life spiralling dangerously out of control.
VIBE
A suffocatingly tense atmosphere permeates this examination of repressed desires and guilt. The film's oppressive mood and psychological depth create a disturbing, slow-burn experience that lingers long after the credits roll.
