Brody R Eh pretty boring watch but the Padre does seem to be an interesting person I'd learn more about. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Audience Member For completists (ie, film nerd losers like me) only. An odd early short from Kubrick cutting his teeth. Tells the tale of a plane flying priest (no honestly). In today's world this would just be a 30 second slot on the local news. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Quick little documentary on a priest and his airplane. Not bad. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the best of the short documentaries made by Kubrick before he began his career in feature filmmaking. It follows the life of a Priest in New Mexico who has a plane and flies from one problem to the next in order to help the members of his parish, who seem to be spread out all over the area. It is a really bizarre little story. It is still kind of hard to watch these old documentaries with nothing but some mundane music, a narrator, and some sound effects. I would have loved to here the subject talk, or some of the people he is flying too...instead we have this newsreel narration telling us what is going on. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A picture that has survived and will only survive in time due its director. Solely for the Kubrick completist. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Pandy 3 Kubrick's second short black and white documentary is quite weird and funny in a unique way. Its shorter than the previous one and this time the camera follows a priest that travels between his parish by... his airplane of course! A fast mean for saving time and offering help to all of his flock, just like a humble superhero. The voice over narration fits great and the picture has overall nice air shots but apart from these is nothing special, just for one view ;) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/10/10 Full Review Read all reviews
