Abbey of Thelema

About This Movie

So, 'Abbey of Thelema' is quite the curious piece. J. Grimm really dives into the chaotic and surreal atmosphere of this Thelemic Commune in Sicily, and you can feel the tension simmering beneath the comedic moments. The film's pacing is a bit erratic, reflecting the tumultuous nature of the subject matter, which is intriguing, to say the least. It blends comedy, drama, and thriller elements in a way that feels distinctly offbeat. The performances are quite compelling, especially how they capture the fervor and absurdity of its characters. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, adding to the authenticity of the setting without overshadowing the narrative. An interesting exploration of cult dynamics and personal beliefs.
