Child abuse in Catholic church is one of
the most popular movie themes in past couple of decades, following the opening
of Vatican secret files as well as the global media coverage expansion. The
subject itself is deeply disturbing, often treansferring to serious nausea when
confronting tha average viewer to the heartbreaking testimonies of the victims.
Argentinian „El Club” follows somewhat
different path, depicting a Catholic detention for the proven child abusers in
a God forsaken small port city. Former priests live in an undisturbed harmony
that will change after the coming of one of the victims that begins to haunt
each and everyone of them.
Dialogues between him and the priests
revolve solely around his explicit and stomach twisting testimonies that are
partially duplicated by the young priest that investigates the case of suicide
of one the detentees.
At the end, „El Club” is a movie
intended to shock and disgust you, not alert or educate you.
