Thy Kingdom Come

Documentary • NR • Directed by: Eugene Richards • 42 minutes

Initially intended as brief episodes for Terence Malick's TO THE WONDER which captured Javier Bardem (a parish priest in the film) talking with real-life residents of an Oklahoma town, this documentary project grew in scope as the townspeople, wholly aware that Bardem was a fictional priest, chose to share personal details of their lives. THY KINGDOM COME is a revelatory work in which unscripted conversations, shot by photographer and filmmaker Eugene Richards in beautiful widescreen, with Javier Bardem, come to reveal the complexity of life in this small oil town.
