Meanwhile, Duvall's brother, young Catholic monsignor Robert DeNiro, is reluctantly currying favor with crooked contractor Charles Durning, the better to finance an expansion of DeNiro's church. The unifying factor between Duvall and DeNiro, beyond their sibling relationship, turns out to be the grisly murder of a hooker. The key words in the labyrinthine proceedings are Power, Ambition, and Hypocrisy. SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Venice Film Festival, ...True Confessions
