Holy Meat

About This Movie

So, Holy Meat is this quirky comedy that dives into the absurdity of faith and art, with a touch of absurdity that feels almost refreshing. Father Iversen, this earnest character, is trying to save his parish with a Passion play. The pacing has this delightful ebb and flow, balancing between the seriousness of the mission and the comedic chaos that ensues. The ensemble cast is a mix of oddballs, especially Mia, the butcher—her scenes are surprisingly heartfelt yet hilariously off-kilter. Director Roberto, with his past woes in the Berlin scene, adds this layer of desperation that’s both sympathetic and amusing. It’s this blend of high stakes and lowbrow humor that makes it stand out. And those practical effects during the performances? They have this raw charm that emphasizes the whole DIY spirit of the film.
