A Long Weekend with The Son of God is an intriguing dive into the life of an unusual religious community in Siberia. The pacing feels almost meditative as filmmaker George Carey immerses himself in the rhythm of the disciples' austere lifestyle led by Jesus Vissarion. There's a surreal quality to how these followers abstain from worldly pleasures—no meat, alcohol, or even money. It's not just a documentary; it’s a window into a way of life that feels both alien and compelling. The atmosphere is thick with a mix of devotion and isolation, and Carey's approach captures the stark beauty of the Siberian landscape and the quiet intensity of the community. It’s definitely a distinctive piece that showcases a rarely seen subculture.
