The Spirit of Gospel
24 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Fairly low-key depiction of a sort of secular spirituality. A very provincial small-town choir with 7 archetypal emotionally distant Nordic Dane's that receives a dose of spirituality when chance gives them some weeks of training with a professional gospel priest/cheerleader. This leads to life evaluation and changes in various characters, thankfully without the movie getting preachy at all. Nice performances from all who actually does most of their own singing and a good reason for all to start singing in a choir which in my view is a good morale :-) The ending does seem to go against traditional "family values", but then again - why stay in a loveless marriage if your kids are pretty much grown-up? Depends on the person I guess...
