The fact-based new film by François Ozon ("8 Women", "Pool", "Double Lover") is a suspenseful tale of how victims of pedophilia in the Church organize themselves after 30 years to finally bring justice. Alexandre (Melvil Poupaud, "Forever Laurence", "Time Left", "By the Sea") lives in Lyon with his wife and five children. He is an example Catholic. One day, he discovers that priest Preynat, who hurt him when he was a scout, is still working with minors. He decides to act. Soon two other victims of the priest join him: François (Denis Ménochet, "Inglourious Basterds") and Emmanuel (Swann Arlaud, "Sponsorship"). The film "Thank God" focuses just on the victims and this is his great strength. It shows their complicated relationships with loved ones and their non-obvious attitude to faith. The film's world premiere took place at Berlinale, where it received the Silver Bear - the Grand Jury Award. A month later, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin (depicted in the film) was sentenced to half a year in prison for covering up pedophilia, Father Preynat's trial is expected to take place by the end of the year. July 4 this year he was expelled from the clergy.
