Review of Winter Light (1963) by Pavandeep S — 07 Feb 2009

Wow, this movie is so precise in its dissection, it makes all the more harder to contemplate. I was amazed at this particular weariness that wove itself into this exhaustive fear and eventually implosion of one of the characters, it was easy for me to sympathize at that moment and looking at it, though I prefer the smooth and tender sympathies of 'Through a Glass Darkly' more, the evisceration of spirituality is much more clear here and more complex for a much more fulfilling experience whereas in the previous one, you ponder and masticate more in-depth on what it means to have in faith, when that word exists no longer.
