Father Lenin

About This Movie

So, 'Father Lenin' is really something. It's this documentary that dives into the unique blend of Christianity and communism in Kerala, which you don’t see every day. The pacing feels almost like a dream, shifting between the vibrancy of the jungle and the solemnity of the church. It captures the lives of priests with a raw honesty, mixing humor and depth in ways you wouldn't expect. There's a certain poetic quality to the storytelling—it's not just a straightforward account but rather an artistic exploration. The visuals are striking too; you can almost feel the atmosphere of the place. It's not polished by any means, but that’s what gives it its charm. A distinct experience for sure, definitely not your regular documentary fare.
