Reverend Keach: Where do you intend to stay?
Birkin: Well, I thought, um... here.
Reverend Keach: Here? Where here?
Birkin: What about the belfry?
Reverend Keach: The belfry? I can't say that appeals to me, having somebody stay in the belfry. Shouldn't you take lodgings? A room in teh Shepherd's Arms?

Featured review
Colin Firth at his best!!!
It's a love story about rebirth and self healing. The foundation of the plot seems very simple: a young man comes in a town to clean the wall of a church. With a subject like that it could be absolutely boring...but it's not. "Emotion" could be the word to describe it all, though "repressed emotion" would be even more accurate. It's a delicate movie, with thousands of details you might not see the first time; it's deep and truly is a masterpiece in its genre.
Of course to appreciate it you must love repertoire movies. It's not a blockbuster movie...far from that. You must be in a slow mood I guess to enjoy it.
This is the kind of movie I would like to keep in my collection: isn't it a pity that "anonymous" has probably sold his tape already? (I cannot find it in Montreal!)
