Absolution
At a Catholic kids' college, proud disciplinarian Daddy Goddard rules over his pupils with a firm hand. When one of his adolescent charges confesses to murder, the dogmatic yet deeply quelched Goddard discovers his confidence tested and also his life spiralling dangerously uncontrollable. Also starring Billy Connolly (in his first feature-film duty), Dominic Guard, Kes star Dai Bradley, as well as the unmatched Brian Glover, and created by the great Anthony Shaffer, Absolution is among British cinema's most underrated refrigerators, not the very least for an imposing central efficiency by Burton.
