Institute History
Description
Jack Lemmon starts as Father Farley, and easy-going, if somewhat complacent Catholic priest who prefers the motions of priesthood to its deeper meaning. He is brought face-to-face with his own compromises by a young seminarian who hungers for the religious and celebate life following a troubled youth. While Father Farley can show the young man the protocols of priesthood, it is the seminarian who inspires his teacher to relearn the basis of the spiritual life. Zeljko Ivanek’s performance as the young man is especially stirring, more than holding his own with the always effective veteran Jack Lemmon.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
