迈克·科瓦克(科林·奥多霍诺 Colin O'Donoghue 饰)是一个出身葬仪家庭的神学院学生,但是他的心中始终找不到任何信仰的依附。偶然机缘,迈克被派往梵蒂冈参加一个驱魔师的培训课程。对上帝尚且心怀疑惑,何况玄之又玄的驱魔仪式,迈克以科学的角度和授课老师展开辩论。在老师的推荐下,他前去拜访了因驱魔而名声显赫的卢卡斯·特雷万神父(安东尼奥·霍普金斯 Anthony Hopkins 饰)。虽然亲身经历了卢卡斯神父的驱魔仪式,但是他依然不相信魔鬼的存在,直到一系列匪夷所思的事情在其身上发生,迈克灵魂的深处才真正发生了动摇…… 根据Matt Baglio的小说《仪式:现代驱魔人的制造》改编,故事灵感来自真实事件。
“For two years starting in 2020, this work has been forming along the edges of disquiet and premonition, in fragments and intensities, through wandering and not-staying. It has tried to find language for and ways across the bizarre upheavals of social and political values with the rise of fascism in India and a global pandemic. It has insisted on being amongst the things that keep from falling apart. Filmed in Delhi, these incomplete fictions are of the people, places, and protests that keep the language of hatred at bay and absorb the city’s grief and euphoria. In them are the continuous echoes of a violent and tenuous present. The false closures and tenuous associations in this video/essay compose a timeline of the city at an angle through the time of this work. There is a shadowy sense of a protagonist who un-dreams it all; a stranger, who it turns out, is no stranger at all.” Priya Sen
