A holy fool: The Island (2006)
Update: 2025-03-20
Description
James and Thomas discuss a minor classic of religious cinema, the spiritually edifying (and humorous!) Russian film The Island, about a fictional Orthodox monk and "holy fool" who has special spiritual gifts, but remains racked with guilt over a terrible crime he committed in his youth.
The Island can be viewed on YouTube (the subtitles are a different translation from the ones on Amazon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz-vegualMg&ab_channel=SergeyKorsakov
