Cavalry 1

Ventnor Film Society presents Calvary.

Catholic priest Father James Lavelle learns in the confessional that he is to be murdered in seven days, in revenge for the abuse of a boy by another priest, now dead.

He is given a week to put his affairs in order, travelling among the eccentric and impious locals of his Sligo country parish. As his time draws near, he comes to question his faith and his responsibility for the sins of the fathers.

A wickedly funny gallows humour infuses this black comedy, but the film also confronts issues facing the Catholic church.
