“He's an angel... Not a saint.”
Michael (1996) transforms the banal trappings of tabloid journalism into a surreal meditation on faith and skepticism. Reporters dispatched by their editor to investigate a woman's claim of housing an angel find themselves entangled in a narrative that blurs the lines between madness and divine revelation. The film's claustrophobic atmosphere and deadpan humor underscore the absurdity of searching for celestial beings in a world steeped in cynicism, where the miraculous is dismissed as delusion.
