About This Movie
Always Wanted to Be God, Never Wanted to Do Good dives into the tension between faith and public space in Switzerland. The film's tone is contemplative yet confrontational, capturing the ambivalence many feel towards these towering religious symbols. It's got this rawness, especially with Patrick Bussard's story as he takes a saw to that cross—it feels both rebellious and oddly reverent. The pacing is contemplative, letting you sit with the ideas rather than rushing through them, which makes you reflect on the weight of symbolism. The visuals are striking, with those mountains juxtaposed against urban settings filled with billboards. It’s distinct in its ability to spark conversation about belief in a secular world, making you think about the implications of faith in public life.
