Read the entire review.The new Fatima movie,
The 13th Day, lives up to the hype we heard all summer. It leaves older film versions in the dust in terms of cinematic artistry and special effects. Directors Ian and Dominic Higgins were illustrators before they were film makers, and it shows. Each shot looks like something one could frame and hang on a wall.
Most of the movie is done in black and white—color only blooms across the screen during each apparition. The absence of color makes the more primal light and darkness jump out at the viewer. The directors make almost constant use of close up shots — expecting us to read in the faces of the characters what the startling and disconcerting events at the Cova da Iria were doing to them.
The miracle of the sun is depicted perfectly: it matches eyewitness descriptions more accurately than any other movie version. And here’s a first: the vision of the “third secret” (that involved Pope John Paul II) is depicted on film for the first time.
