Touch (1997)
Country: US/FR
Technical: col 97m
Director: Paul Schrader
Cast: Skeet Ulrich, Bridget Fonda, Christopher Walken, Tom Arnold, Gina Gershon
Synopsis:
An ex-Franciscan monk working at an AA clinic, who possesses the gift of healing, comes to be exploited by a regressive Catholic and a revivalist preacher turned RV salesman, and loved by the latter's former employee.
Review:
As the above implies, a somewhat satirical look at contemporary America's reaction to a miracle, which though not quite achieving a uniformity of tone or direction, reserves many incidental pleasures in individual scenes and performances.
