Modest Gods is a peculiar gem from 1987 that dives into the unconventional side of documentary filmmaking. The tone is contemplative, almost haunting at times, as it explores the complexity of faith and belief systems through a lens that feels both personal and observational. There’s this raw quality to the visuals, and the pacing feels a bit languid, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. The practical effects, while not the focus, add an interesting texture to the narrative. It’s a film that isn’t afraid to meander, raising questions without rushing to provide answers. The performances, though not traditionally 'performative', carry a certain authenticity that keeps you engaged. It’s definitely a distinctive piece that stands apart from more conventional documentaries.
