Blake, a noted film critic, reveals a Catholic imagination at work in the films of Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Capra, John Ford, Francis Ford Coppola, and Brian De Palma. Their movies are permeated with such Catholic ideas as sacramentality (the sacred is present in the profane things of the world), mediation (God works in our lives through specific people and things), and communion (salvation depends on belonging to a community).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book - wonderful resource
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2022

I use this in my Catholic Filmmakers Class. My only complaints is that it is missing a chapter on Leo McCarey - but Blake has written an article on McCarey that I include with my class readings. I would also love to see some of the more prominent foreign filmmakers examined - like Robert Bresson and Krzysztof Kieslowski.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and novel perspective
Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2000

Though film synopses are not especially artistic or exciting, Fr Blake's thesis of how Catholic concepts of community, sacrament, and symbol influenced six major directors is well presented. The underlying ideas were quite thought provoking, even if their relation to some film sequences bordered on the contrived. Impeccable scholarship in a readable work - and a good present for an intellectual film buff.
