Paul Schrader can't shake his Christian faith, even with his latest movie, MasterGardener
LOS ANGELES -- Throughout his life, Paul Schrader has had a complicated relationship with Christianity.
His latest movie,"Master Gardener," which hit theaters Friday, is the final installment of the director's"Man in a Room Trilogy," something he freely concedes was more about marketing than an intentional connection between the three films. He added that he also wanted to explore questions about penance and repentance in light of the current societal fractures about how forgiveness for past wrongdoing can be achieved -- a la"cancel culture." And although his movies have historically been replete with social commentary, he finds himself increasingly less optimistic about the kind of change that art can bring about.
But Schrader revealed that even after headlines emerged in anticipation of the project and being told that they were on the"5-yard line" with Netflix, the streaming service eventually passed.
