Also it's just kind of a straightforward story about a small town that sees a series of unspeakable crimes committed, and in response an antisocial foreigner is scapegoated which just causes all the endemic social crises to metastasize to the point where everyone is completely atomized and consumed by reactionary superstition and paranoia. The syncretic use of various forms of religion and spirituality as motifs is just a realistic and nuanced way of representing that existential horror, but none of them is ever actually endorsed. If anything, the spiritual viewpoint that the film endorses is stridently non-theist or agnostic. All of the religions are real, and therefore they are all patently false. Your mind makes it real as you're grasping for a convenient solution to the insurmountable problem of the meaningless of existence.

Spettacolo is a documentary from 2017 about a small villa in Tuscany that has produced a play every summer for the past 50 years, and now struggles to keep its tradition afloat. It's streaming on Prime and is rather good.
