There is a traditional view of a priest, and they purity they are meant to represent to the people who put their faith in them. What happens though when a priest begins to lose his faith, not only in the Church and God, but in himself? The Man Who Was Thursday is a movie that takes a look at that question, though it may come short of actually answering it.
When a priest (François Arnaud) gives in to sin, and has a fall from grace, he ends up in Rome with a chance of redemption. Going undercover to infiltrate an underworld group of anarchic renegades he finds himself being seduced by their mission against the Church. Taking the name of Thursday,...

“Anguish” (1987)
Directed By: Bigas Luna
Written By: Bigas Luna
Starring: Zelda Rubinstein (Alice the Mother), Michael Lerner (John), Talia Paul (Patty), Angel Jove (The Killer), Clara pastor (Linda), Isabel Garcia Lorca (Caroline).
Just when I thought Zelda Rubinstein in the “Poltergeist” trilogy couldn’t get any creepier, she out did herself in Bigas Luna’s psychological Spanish horror film “Anguish.” This horror film blew me away with its imagery. I’ve never seen a movie within a movie done this well before. It’s very sad as I haven’t heard many discuss this movie before. It deserves more recognition than it has received. The only release of this movie is on hard to find 80s label “Key Video.” Blue Underground has re-released this as well. The VHS I found has a warning label regarding hypnosis, which I found out watching it can make you...

As a result, he, like the man who plays him, is the first European with Down's to graduate from university.
