God Bless

About This Movie

So, 'God Bless' is this quirky little comedy that takes you to the suburbs of Podgorica in Montenegro. It’s not often you see a film delve into the absurdities of faith and home blessings, right? The deacon, Petar, played with a kind of bemused charm, isn’t really into the whole church vibe, which creates this really interesting tension. The pacing feels relaxed, almost like a gentle stroll through the neighborhood. The humor is subtle but sharp, and there’s a warm, almost nostalgic atmosphere that envelops the film. I found the performances engaging, particularly how Petar navigates his crisis of faith against the backdrop of family life. It’s a cozy watch that feels fresh, yet familiar in its themes.

'God Bless' has been somewhat of a hidden gem, not widely circulated in mainstream collections. The film's regional origins make it a curious piece for collectors interested in Eastern European cinema, though physical formats are a bit scarce. It’s intriguing to see how this small film plays with themes of faith and community, giving it a unique place in your collection, especially if you enjoy comedy that strays from traditional narratives.
