Poland's Oscar-nominated 'Corpus Christi' gives the world a new hot priest—and a story that challenges notions of redemption without coddling audiences. Our review

Still, Daniel swipes a holy man’s black-on-black outfit, indulges a post-freedom night of debauchery and heads to a small town way out east, where a sawmill job awaits him. Before reporting for work, he stops at the local church. The only other person in the mostly empty chapel is Eliza . She’s suspicious of this stranger. Impulsively, Daniel lies that he’s a priest. Then let me introduce you to the vicar, she replies.

Apologies if this makes the movie sound like it’s the equivalent of self-flagellation. It isn’t. There are moments of deadpan humor spread throughout, especially when Daniel is forced to learn sacred rituals on the fly — thank god for cellphones — and some of his impromptu sermons veer off the beaten path. Andis definitely blessed with a hell of a charismatic lead in Bielenia, a blue-eyed actor with a matinee-idol good looks, an intense stare and light comic chops.

If the movie sometimes adds elements that feel like too much, too little — a subplot involving the sawmill’s owner feels superfluous even when it gets things from point B to point C — and occasionally gets wobbly in balancing the dark and the light, it also knows when to keep things lean and, in the case of its third-act thrusts and parries, mean.doesn’t skimp on the humanity; the film earns the slow smiles it brings to your face.
