Fr. Goddard (Richard Burton) is a strict priest in a Catholic boarding school for boys; Benjie (Dominic Guard) and Arthur (Dai Bradley) are two students who conspire to drive him insane with wild admissions in the confessional. Poorly written, aimlessly directed, and badly photographed,
ABSOLUTION is utterly depressing and pointless. Its sole selling point is Burton's presence.
