Review of Takva

Takva (2006)
4/10
organized religion messes you up
14 December 2011
This is a hard movie to watch especially the last half hour or so with all the cuts to demonic like nightmares and sequences..

Here is what I think the movie is about (I may be wrong):

The main character goes on a journey of enlightenment that shows him that common sense and kindness(a heart) trump any earthly authority of organized religion. He discovers that getting involved too much with organized religion is corrupting. The religious brotherhood can do the work of the Devil too--The religious leader is shown flanked by huge fires like a scene from Hell.

In short the movie is a slam at organized religion and how it messes up men's minds.

The movie gets a 4. It is rough with too many cuts too many nightmares and is hard to understand.... no wonder it won a prize these are the favorite ones at film festivals.

Don't really recommend--
