Cobalt Blue--DOGMA was pure delight. I thought other than the "poop" man, there was not a wasted line or scene in the whole film. Casting and writing was excellent. What was quite remarkable to me is that while I am on the other end of the spectrum from you religiously(a fairly far-left agnostic Jew), I found the film very religiously intense and quite satisfying. I came away with a deeper appreciation of the Christian experience and some envy of believers. Also, the film operates on different levels quite effectively. It pulls you in with the veneer of a farce and then zaps you with intense feelings.(My religiously-trained, Christian friend told me that the dogma in the film was quite representative of mainstream Christian theology) Very nice. As an afterthought, I felt that this was a much more religious and satisfying film then Scorcese's "Last Temptation of Christ"(which I liked, BTW.).
