    Not exactly like and much earlier than the Priest this film is touching some of the same issues of sexuality and the Roman Catholic Church. Jack Lemmon and Zeljko Ivanek are both great.

As they begin to forge a friendship, a number of issues co...( read more)nfronting the Roman Catholic Church are examined. This film is sensitive, introspective and deep, while remaining accessible.
