Ron Holloway critic, Silvije Petranovic & John Malkovich Silvije Petranovic's Society of Jesus As historical dramas go, Silvije Petranovic's Druzba Isusova / Society of Jesus (Croatia) is a cut above the average - all the more impressive because it's a debut feature by an all-around talent with a good track record as a video pioneer, producer, painter, and documentary filmmaker... The twist coming at the end is worth the wait, for the Countess is as intelligent as she is beautiful and can see though all the evil schemes of the Church - save for the soul of the troubled ascetic who has been sent to hear her confession and wrestles against his own concupiscence... Ron Holloway, Berlin/ 10 SARAJEVO IFF , August,2004, __________________________________________________________________________________

Mostra de Cinema: "Sociedade de Jesus" critica Igreja com
caso de amor E quem representa a Croácia é o jovem diretor Silvije Petranovic, trazendo "A Sociedade de Jesus," cujo roteiro é baseado no livro homônimo de seu compatriota Jiri Sotola. O trabalho de Sotola fez relativo sucesso no país, graças à crítica impiedosa à igreja católica e uma história de amor sufocante, que passa longe do romance clichê e meloso que outros escritores insistem em relembrar. O filme apresenta o torturado padre Had, que sempre parece estar colocando à prova sua dedicação religiosa. Servindo à Sociedade de Jesus, o jesuíta enfrenta todo o tipo de intempérie para propagar a doutrina cristã pelo país. Sua tranquilidade termina de vez quando passa a ser confessor da bela e viúva condessa Maria, que se torna uma tentação constante. O gradual envolvimento entre os dois leva o padre a repensar sua vocação e, claro, seu voto de castidade. Mas, enganam-se aqueles que acreditam já ter visto algo similar. O abismo moral que os separa torna vivo e pujante o turbilhão emocional interior que os traga. As palavras não precisam ser ditas, mas o delicado olhar de Petranovic faz o espectador se sentir uma testemunha desse amor platônico e proibido. Ao lado da história entre a viúva e o padre, se encontra toda uma explícita crítica à igreja, que transparece nas ações do sacerdote superior a Had. Interessado nas riquezas e no corpo da condessa, ele simboliza a ganância eclesiástica que acompanhou a profusão da Igreja no centro da Europa nos séculos 16 e 17. Além de curiosa, devido à sua origem, a produção ainda obtém resultados bastante positivos, a começar pelos detalhes, como cenografia e figurino. Petranovic acerta também na fotografia e na sensibilidade de seu olhar, ao contar uma história honesta e pura.

A missionary assigned to be the confessor for a rich young widow is urged by his superiors to sway her into "donating" her land and wealth to the church. The elegant, lonely countess, meanwhile, has her own, slightly more carnal ulterior motive for keeping the handsome priest around. While the battle for the priest's soul rages, he struggles against both his own temptations of the flesh and the machinations of a post-medieval Faith, Inc. Epic panoramic visuals contrast with the characters' aims and efforts, reminding us of life's awesome natural beauty. Masterfully performed by an all-star Croatian cast, director Silvije Petranovic's tale of repression and religion may take place in 17th-century Eastern Europe, but don't let the historical setting fool you: Substitute the film's power-hungry Jesuits with the corrupt factions that have run roughshod over the Balkans during the last fifty years, and the message would remain the same.- David Fear /28 MILL VALLEY FF October, 2005

racial, political and environmental justice. The panelists are all
