What makes a film ‘spiritually significant’? These twelve essays explore the religious, political, social, and psychological importance of films on the Arts & Faith Top 100 list of spiritually significant films. The anthology features close readings and analyses of films by Dreyer, Antonioni, Pasolini, Kubrick, Scorsese, Schrader, Miyazaki, and others. It provides both important contributions to the understanding of canonical directors and a foundational introduction for those seeking to understand film as one expression of human spirituality.
