Death Of An Angel: Review

starstarstarstar
A story of religious faith and persecution set in a small mission town along the US-Mexican border. Bonnie Bedelia leaves her Los Angeles home for Mexico when her wheelchair-bound daughter takes refuge in a mission. Bedelia soon becomes sympathetic to the plight of a martyrlike priest named Angel (Nick Mancuso) in his battle to save his followers from a gang of Mexican badmen and lead them into the light of religious freedom. Overwrought with obvious symbolism, DEATH OF AN ANGEL is more concerned with delivering a message than presenting its audience with real people and convincing dialog. DEATH OF AN ANGEL is a commendable attempt, though a poorly executed picture, laden with Luis Bunuel-cloned crosses and cripples, and totally without Bunuel's wonderfully cynical appreciation of paradox. leave a comment
