Adam’s Apples

Adam’s Apples (2005) is a Danish film directed by Anders Thomas Jensen. It is a dark and disturbing allegory based on the Book of Job which examines how the religious finds meaning and purpose in a life of pain and suffering and how evil (construed as Satanic temptations, rather than as the outcome of Fall) can distort their beliefs about God and the devil. It is somewhat subversive for my taste, but I think I get what the film is addressing.
