As For Joye
centres on Abbé Joye, a Jesuit priest who took potential
little sinners off the street and treated them to film
burlesque: laugher is the best medicine.The film’s
theme is church and cinema. The screenplay interwines
delightful scenes from the film collection with letters
from the Jesuit father and statements by contemporary
priests, both men and women. Words and images are robbed
of their unequivocal clarity to reveal hidden meanings,
other dimensions.
