Review of Saint

Saint (1997)
8/10
Effective Black and White evocation of the Saint Sebastian Story
7 March 2003
This story of a roman soldier who is executed because of his Christian beliefs has been a staple of painters and sculptors since medieval times. Here it is given another retelling by a gay filmmaker. Its imagery has touches of James Bidgood and Bruce Weber and is beautifully done. While there is no dialogue many of the images speak volumes. Its well worth the few minutes it takes to see it and a few of these images will stay with you long after the film ends.
