The Club This Chilean drama examines the role of the Catholic Church in covering up crimes committed by its clergy

The Chilean drama The Club, from Pablo Larraín (2012’s No), might be spare, but it packs a lot into its loosely plotted and deceptively low-key spaces. In a small seaside town, four men and a woman — four former Catholic priests and a former nun — share a house.
They are intentionally isolated, having committed some sin and now living in an on-earth purgatory, caught between the oversight of the Church and the potential dangers and temptations of the secular world. They are a companionably cranky lot who share the unsanctioned hobby of greyhound racing.
