This must be one of the most touching movies I have seen in my
life. I would rank it high up there with movies like The Bicycle Thief.
It depicts human frailty at its best (and consequently, worst) in a
very pure and painfully real light. I think this this is definitely a movie that cannot be remade, the
priest's expressions and anxiety are too perfect to be replaced. I
only wish I watched a good copy (mine skipped scenes and cut
dialogues). Regardless, this movie is definitely an all-time best,
and deals with such personal issues at such a personal level that
it can never age. It touches the soul straight on and literally takes
one's breath away.
