INTERNATIONAL FILM REVIEW
By His Lordship The Right Reverend Bishop Hogan, O.F.M.
The second number of the International Film Review, a quarterly publication of the International Catholic Cinema Office (12 rue d’Orme, Bruxelles) maintains a high standard. This particular issue consists of a series of French testimonies and is introduced by an encouraging message from the late Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Suhard. It is difficult to select from articles of such uniform interest and excellence, but I found the contribution of Georges Rollin “When I was Cure d’Ars’’, very appealing. Rollin played the part of St. Jean Vianney in the filmed life of the Cure d’Ars Le Sorcier du del) due for release shortly.
Here we have a distinguished actor opening his heart to us and exposing the difficulties he felt when faced with the task of portraying the life — especially the inner life — of a Saint. He points out that to make a film of adventure is easy enough; to make people laugh is largely a
matter of technique, but that it is impossible to bring St. John Baptist Vianney to the screen without the help of his particular spirit. Rollin goes on to tell us how he tried to acquire something of that spirit in the solitude and silence of a Retreat House. While it is not in mortals to command success, one feels that such conscientious and painstaking preparation certainly deserves it and we look forward with pleasure to the film.
M. Abel Gance, the producer of the film on the Passion of Our Lord — The Divine Tragedy — writes very beautifully about this film upon which he has been working for some time and encourages us to hope that it will justifv the confidence and abundantly reward the piety? and enthusiasm of its promoters.
The International Film Review deserves a wide circulation, especially in schools where the Gnema is taken seriously as a medium of education.
