Our take

A miraculous tale of religious oppression, this chilling psychodrama boasts a unique formal device: telling its story in just 14 shots, each representing a step on the titular Way of Sorrows. Bressonian in its ascetic power, Stations of the Cross is a searing examination of spiritual conflict.
