Company of Miracles

About This Movie

Company of Miracles has this offbeat charm that draws you in with its quirky blend of comedy and drama. The story centers around a devout young man, who's got this rich pasture and refuses to sell it to a mining company, which makes for an interesting moral clash. The pacing feels kind of deliberate, allowing the absurdity of the situation to play out, especially when the agent concocts this miracle scheme. The performances are a mixed bag, but you can really sense the earnestness, which adds depth to the humor. It’s not your typical narrative; there’s an underlying critique of greed and faith that makes it distinctive, plus a few practical effects that are charmingly dated, yet effective in conveying the story’s whimsy.

Company of Miracles is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, with limited prints available, especially in good condition. It’s had a few releases over the years, but nothing too extensive, which adds to its allure for those who appreciate off-the-beaten-path cinema. The film's charm lies in its unique narrative style and its exploration of themes that resonate on different levels, making it a curiosity for serious film collectors.
