Forbidden Confessional of `Serena


Lust. Temptation. Forbidden love. All under God's roof. Jennifer Garner and Alfred Molina star in this eternally screwed up short film.
This little description on YouTube is right, I'd say, but it doesn't come close to capturing the brilliance, and nuance, and forbiddenness of this short film.  Garner and Molina act this little script so deftly, all within the confines of a confessional and a tight time frame for plot development.  They give us a glimpse of a sanctuary of sorts for Catholics, and the human desire and awkwardness that, we may imagine, occur now and then in such a sanctuary.
