Puff piece padre

Flying Padre (1951)

Directed by Stanley Kubrick this is a short documentary. A Catholic priest in rural New Mexico tends to his flock by flying round in a small plane.

While you always expect big things from Kubrick this early effort is a very straight forward and simplistic piece. There is not really much narrative or insight here and this is your classic short news piece of the time. You might not have expected a puff piece from Kubrick but that's what we have.


3/5
