Description …. of The Skies movie: A team of pilgrims in the Vatican is caught in an encased lift. Then turmoil emerges, and repressed urges come to the outside.
Review: In the second half of the 70s of the last century in Italy suddenly become fashionable, they say, “runs” of the Catholic Church. That is not something that suddenly – a political crisis in the country at that time reached its zenith, and the institution of the church for many years, who was one of the mainstays of the state.
That is what happened to the picture Silvano Agosti “In The Highest of The Skies“. As soon as the fight with the Catholic Church, in a fair degree has lost its influence on public policy in Italy, has become pointless, remember this movie even stopped militant atheists. Although, the last, maybe just on some folly – as wicked satire on the religious society, which is a «Nel più alto dei Cieli», this social group is always in demand. But to reach out to others, it was necessary, perhaps, something more than the systematic smearing mud on church vestments, which the director takes the whole movie with a true passion for the neophyte. About the fact that this is a movie and it would be nice to remove, apparently, something was forgotten.
Speaking of genres, the “Nel più alto dei cieli” is a sort of surreal Guignol, stylistically reminiscent of the works of Peter Greenaway, who is the best in the world, perhaps, able to work in this direction
