Absolution

(1978)Directed by Anthony Page95 min · RDrama, Thriller, Mystery
“One man, two boys... one deadly game.”

Father Goddard (Richard Burton) teaches at a Catholic boys' school and rules his pupils with an iron hand, a man whose strict faith leaves little room for doubt. Anthony Page follows him once Benjamin Stanfield (Dominic Guard), one of his favourite students, confesses to a murder. A priest who has always been certain of everything now watches his own life slip beyond his control.
