Movie Info

Don Giulio (Nanni Moretti), a Roman Catholic priest, returns to the village in which he grew up to replace the previous pastor, whose fathering of a child caused a scandal. Hoping to provide his hometown with a solid spiritual foundation, Giulio instead discovers that his old friends and family members have been living hedonistic lifestyles. After attempting -- and failing -- repeatedly to lead his loved ones down a more virtuous path, Giulio assumes a state of cynical bemusement to cope.

Critic Reviews for The Mass Is Ended (La Messa è finita)

All Critics (1) | Top Critics (1) | Rotten (1)

The story is lightly told by Nanni Moretti, the director, co-writer and star, but we get to know none of these people; they are brought one after the other as means of overloading Giulio's circuits.
