“Winner of 5 “Nika” Awards (Russian Oscars) including Best Film. Somewhere in Northern Russia in a small Russian Orthodox monastery lives a very unusual man. His fellow-monks are confused by his bizarre conduct. Those who visit the island believe that the man has the power to heal, exorcise demons and foretell the future. However, he considers himself unworthy because of a sin he committed in his youth. The film is a parable, combining the realities of Russian everyday life with monastic ritual and routine.” – Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon

“Some scenes in this film have an almost Bergman-like quality to them. I had anticipated that somehow the clergy depicted would be subjected to at least subtle ridicule, which has become common practice in most films produced in the West. Refreshingly, this was not the case. I had never suspected that a work of such spiritual dynamism could arise so soon from the ashes of the Soviet Union. The main characters were presented as spiritually honest people, who consciously struggled with their human weaknesses. The presentation of Russian Orthodox monastic practice was quite intriguing and instructive. A second viewing of the film clarifies some of Fr. Anatoly's peculiar behavior, which proves to be clairvoyant.” –

“This movie is VERY Russian and VERY Eastern Orthodox. It tells the tale of a man who became a “fool for Christ”. He lives in an Eastern Orthodox monastery and vexes both parishioners and fellow monks with his "crazy" spiritual advice and actions. As you watch the movie, though, you'll realize he is not so crazy after all. This film gives one a good feel for Orthodox monasticism (in this context), the importance of prayer, and how the monks are “real people like us” with their own troubles, demons and sins that can be overcome by God's mercy and love. The photography and staging are fantastic and the situations are very human, real and touching. I highly recommend this movie!” –

“Pavel Lungin's new Russian film OSTROV (“Island”) has taken Russia by storm and made quite an impression at Sundance. Is this film about Orthodox Christian spirituality really worth the hype or is its appeal very limited.

Ostrov is worth every second of your time! It is beautiful, touching, and truly profound. The basic plot is about Anatoli, a young Russian boiler-stoker during WWII. Captured by the Nazis, he chooses the coward's route and shoots his Captain to save himself. The Nazis still bow up his barge and he washes ashore on a tiny island monastery in the Barents Sea. Thirty years later, he's Father Anatoli – and is he a madman-boiler stoker, or is a a near-Saint who can heal and who knows things?

Father Anatoli is still repenting, despite seeking God's infinite forgiveness, and this is the theological crux of the film: The free grace/cost-of-discipleship paradox. This spiritual conundrum is hardly unique to Orthodox Christianity! Pious Lutherans will recall Nazi-executed Minster/Theologian Deitrich Bonhoeffer's book, “The Cost of Discipleship”, for instance.

Anatoli uses his gifts to be a Fool for Christ, who, through humility, can identify the prideful sins of others – Father Job's vanity at book learning, Father Filaret's covetousness, etc. Although being a Fool for Christ is more understood in Orthodoxy, the concept exists in the west – witness “Blasillo el Bobo” in the classic Spanish novel “San Manuel Bueno, Martir” by Unamuno.

The acting in Ostrov is superb, the casting subtle and sublime. The cinematography (wide-screen monochromatic) is stunning.

This is a must see for anyone interested in spirituality or repentance.

A final note – in both message and deliberate pacing, OSTROV is a splendid reproach to our quick-fix society, and the spiritual quick-fix, as Father John the Hieromonk of St. Michael's Skete in Canones, NM points out in a recent article.” –
