Flanders has a new director who believes in contemplative cinema: Kristof Hoornaert. Hallelujah. Unfortunately, though, his film debut never really takes off.

An old hermit takes in a young homeless man who has been unable to speak since perpetrating a violent act of Old Testament proportions. Now what?

Resurrection is by no means bungled, but the unnecessary repetition, gently babbling scenes, awkward dialogue, and unexceptional drama prevent you from immersing yourself fully in this parable.

> Resurrection. BE, dir.: Kristof Hoornaert, act.: Johan Leysen, Gilles De Schryver
