Saint Bernard – Episode 181

PLEASE see the list below if you are dealing with trauma and you need help. That is the primary lesson behind this episode. Saint Bernard is a fantastic art-film that takes us on the downward spiral of Bernard, an orchestra conductor who is overcome by trauma. The visuals in this movie are stunning, uncomfortable, emotional. There is very little dialogue. On the technical side everything about this film is a valuable lesson. All of it. It may not be for everyone, but it is definitely a movie you will not forget if you watch it. Listen up and decide for yourself.
