"Religious" films don't tend to get much respect in Hollywood, but
that doesn't mean that religion doesn't regularly find its way into
the movies. In Beautiful Light Roy Anker seeks out the
often-unnoticed connections between film and religion and shows how
even movies that aren't overtly religious or Christian in their
content can be filled with deep religious insights and spiritual
meaning. Closely examining nine critically acclaimed films
including Magnolia, The Apostle, American Gigolo, and M. Night
Shyamalan's Wide Awake, Anker analyzes the ways in which these
movies explore what it means to be human-and what it means, as
human beings, to wrestle with an often unwieldy divine presence.
Addressing questions of doubt and belief, despair and elation,
hatred and love, Anker's work sheds "beautiful light" on some of
Hollywood's most profound and memorable films.
