De Man uit Rome plot

The skeptical research priest Filippo comes to a Limburg border village on behalf of the Vatican to examine a weeping statue of the Virgin Mary. Determined to expose the statue, he stumbles upon the grim village community, who prove deeply traumatized and cling to their miracle. Attracted and disturbed by the silent Térèse who discovered the tears, Filippo becomes embroiled in the sadness of the village and in a series of apparently miraculous events that undermine his certainties about his vocation as a priest and as a human being.

Filippo [Michele Riondino] has come on behalf of the Vatican to a Limburg village that is deeply scarred from a massacre that took place four years ago. He must investigate whether the adaptation that a statue of the Virgin shed tears is evidence of a miracle. His contact person is the local priest [Raymond Thiry] and the main witness is Térèse, who miraculously survived the massacre and has not spoken a word since. It helps if you are familiar with the traditions and rituals of Catholicism, but not much. The majority consists of scenes in which people talk about what happened and its consequences. The rest consists of overstylized flashbacks, including of the massacre in question. The use of sound is intriguing, but the directing of the actors is substandard.

Mediocre film about a priest from Rome who has to investigate a possible holy miracle. The community in which the film takes place is portrayed well and the film also starts quite intriguing. However, it quickly becomes monotonous and you are actually waiting for the outcome, which was also a bit disappointing.

The ending takes it down another half point where I had previously understood the traumas, the doubts and the lies (?) of the village but less for the portrayal of the ambassador from Rome. I did find the representation of the school drama presented well.

All in all, quite disappointed.
