这是一群高智商男生们的故事。二十世纪八十年代,英国北部的一所男子中学里,八个高中生正积极准备着牛津和剑桥大学的招生考试。这几个男生性格各异。有万人迷,自视甚高的Dakin(多米尼克•库珀 Dominic Cooper 饰);有四肢发达头脑不简单的Rudge(拉塞尔•托维 Russell Tovey 饰)等。他们对课本对知识有属于自己的解读。
教他们文学的是个肥胖,教学方式独特的怪老头Hector(理查德•格雷弗斯 Richard Griffiths饰),他主张学生通过课本获得情感上的共鸣和享受,而不是单纯为了升学而读。与他教学模式相反的则是学校新聘请的老师Tom(斯蒂芬•坎贝尔•莫尔 Stephen Campbell Moore 饰)。Tom的目标则是协助这些孩子尽可能考上牛津或剑桥。两种老师的两种教学模式,究竟孰优孰劣,或许并没有一个标准答案。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
When, at the beginning of Deus Irae, Father Javier stares at a crucifix, his expressions and his hands suggest that the nerves are consuming him. A flashback reveals that this priest devotes his life to visiting families that claim to have seen things that do not belong to this world and cleansing their homes from the demons that try to possess them. But, upon returning to those houses, he notices that the evidence is always destroyed. This way, he discovers that a clan is after him, and must decide whether to hide from them or join them. In times when horror cinema tends to fall into the hands of directors that seek to build narratives that are introspective and close to reality, Pedro Cristiani goes back to old-school horror, where gore and the physical experience are above any other kind of feeling. A cinema that places the camera in front of the faces of the bloodiest demons and, instead of giving logic to them, chooses to face them whatever the cost.
