"Calvary" star Brendan Gleeson: 'It's about the essence of goodness'
The Guardian on Apr 11, 2014
Calvary is a 2014 Irish black comedy drama film written and directed by John Michael McDonagh. Calvary stars Brendan Gleeson, Chris O'Dowd, Kelly Reilly, Aidan Gillen, Dylan Moran and Isaach de Bankolé. The film began production in September 2012 and was released in April 2014[6] in Ireland and the United Kingdom and is expected to be released in August 2014 in the United States. The film was screened at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival[7] and is scheduled to be shown at the 64th Berlin International Film Festival.
Father James Lavelle (Brendan Gleeson) is a good man intent on making the world a better place, he is continually shocked and saddened by the spiteful and confrontational inhabitants of his small country town in County Sligo. During confession a parishioner threatens that he will kill Lavelle the next Sunday, and as the week progresses the forces of darkness begin to close in around him.
John Michael McDonagh conceived the idea for Calvary and wrote the screenplay while filming The Guard with Brendan Gleeson in late 2009. McDonagh explained the intentions he had for the film: "There are probably films in development about priests which involve abuse. My remit is to do the opposite of what other people do, and I wanted to make a film about a good priest." He elaborates that it is tonally "in the same darkly comedic vein as The Guard, but with a much more serious and dramatic narrative."[4] Gleeson's casting was announced in October 2011.[4] The casting of Chris O'Dowd, Kelly Reilly and Aidan Gillen was announced in February 2012,[10] while further casting was announced in August 2012.

Just watched the movie. It was good, but liberal in a lot of areas though.
