Sinopses(1)
Daniel, um jovem de 20 anos, preso num centro de detenção juvenil, tem uma experiência espiritual transformadora e quer tornar-se padre. No entanto, por causa do seu antecedente criminal, isso é impossível. Quando Daniel sai do centro de detenção é contratado para trabalhar numa serração de uma pequena aldeia, onde chega vestido com o hábito de padre e, quase acidentalmente, toma posse da paróquia local. A presença de um jovem e carismático orador é a oportunidade para a comunidade local começar o processo de cura depois da tragédia que aconteceu lá. (Films4you)

O filme segue um enredo bastante estabelecido sobre um recém-chegado a uma comunidade fechada e fraturada que, involuntariamente, a reúne sem querer através dos seus próprios atos, mas ainda assim não escapa ao seu passado - e a sua forma é bastante convencional durante a maior parte do seu tempo de duração. O que não é tão frequente é o incrivelmente expressivo e quase demoníaco Bartosz Bielenia, que dá um desempenho extraordinário no papel principal e leva o filme inteiro aos seus ombros, e a perspetiva do seu personagem, observando o mundo através de Deus e aprendendo sobre si próprio no processo. Além disso, o filme impressiona pelo seu tratamento complexo do tema da fé religiosa e da sua cinematografia estática, a qual, no entanto, surpreende num momento-chave no final com o seu movimento súbito, mas justificado. Este drama notável distingue-se também pelo seu argumento sofisticado e serve como prova adicional de que mesmo um filme íntimo de baixo orçamento e poucos locais pode ser feito para dar ao espetador uma experiência poderosa e excecionalmente convincente.

Jan Komasa is definitely talented and I consider his film The Hater to be the best of modern Polish cinema. Corpus Christi has been sitting on my disc for about a year and I didn't want to get into it because of the subject matter. In the end, it's quite digestible, but certainly nothing that would make me fall to my knees. Bartosz Bielenia's acting is great and I enjoyed the scenes from the pimp, but the scenes from the church less so. The intense finale saves it quite a bit, and the character of Bonus is really monstrous, but I would have preferred if the main character had gone on more of a rampage with women, drugs, alcohol, which only outlined to a lesser degree, and I'm not going to spend stars just for the story. Story 4/5, Action 2/5, Humor 0/5, Violence 2/5, Fun 3/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 3/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 3/5. 6/10.

Meh. A high-quality premise drowned in the traditionally flat style of the Polish art school. The best part are the opening and final scenes, they are staged in an original way and pulse with the life denied by the rest of the cold story. The ideas are nice and pretty strong at times, but it all looks as if only mindless individuals without any spark were moving in front of the camera. A very standard festival flick that unfortunately leans too much on the safe side and with a thematic simplicity that can never get close to Haneke’s The White Ribbon. 65%

A classic western scheme about a stranger in a forgotten town, but this time with a truly full-bodied script that puts one challenge after another in front of the hero, and we know that he's going to snap at any moment, so we'd rather enjoy every moment of his theatrics that we're afforded along with him. The improbable plot could otherwise quite easily have been brought to heel, notwithstanding the excellent cinematography and direction (the brutal Noer-esque ending proves what an eclectic director Komasa is), but for the fact that it has such an unqualified and interesting cast. The protagonist in particular, a surreal mutant hybrid of Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Cillian Murphy, has one of the most interesting faces I've seen in a long time, and he leaves a lot unspoken and mysterious right up to the end, even though we watch the entire film through his lens. He's going to be a great Bond villain.

I’m giving five stars to another Polish film with a religious theme. While Clergy was on a much more serious subject, this film complements it perfectly and exposes not just the priests but also their flock who follow Christian teachings to the letter when it comes to Old Testament punishments, but not exactly when it comes to the beam in their own eye and loving their neighbor. I'd say it was an educative film, except that those who know don’t need teaching and those for whom it was primarily intended are virtually unteachable.

"I am a murderer. Yes, you heard right. I killed. I killed with a thought. I killed by inaction. I killed by deed. You know what we're good at? Condemnation. Finger-pointing. To forgive is not to forget. That doesn't mean pretending nothing happened. To forgive is to love. To love someone regardless of their guilt. Whatever it may be." - The mesmerizing Bartosz Bielenia as a self-proclaimed fake priest sends a timeless message with his unique acting style that there is good and evil in every human being. It is then up to you what you prefer at the time. It also kind of depends on what society or the community you live in allows you to do. The fascinating drama Corpus Christi contains some powerful ideas and remarkable reflections. You will also find some impressively filmed scenes that make your blood run cold. It is a very good film with an original story that is definitely worth watching. (95%)
