Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. —Henry Fielding

Boże Ciało (2019)

Jan Komasa's Corpus Christi was fairly conventional. I kept predicting the moves it made throughout. Its ending is surprising and it has a prison rape in it in the first, like, 30 seconds of the movie (I mean, why not at this point?), but I liked Corpus Christi well enough, and the acting is great. The lead performance, by Bartosz Bielenia, is absolutely great, and I was also taken with Aleksandra Konieczna as a bitter old lady in this small Polish town.
