The Club

The latest work by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín—and a Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Language Film—The Club only adds to his reputation as one of the most exciting filmmakers in Latin America. When an emissary from the Vatican arrives to study the effects of isolation on four excommunicated priests atoning for their wrongs, secrets the men thought long buried reemerge. Larraín’s film offers a smart, thrilling, and disturbing commentary on individual responsibility, organized religion, and the combustible combination of the two. (98 mins., DCP)
