True Confessions

Two brothers, Tom and Des, who couldn't be more different: Police inspector and priest. Set in post-war Los Angeles, the murder of a prostitute turns into a tensile test for Tom, as the perpetrator's trail leads into church circles. Based on a novel by John Gregory Dunne, Ulu Grosbard has directed a harmonious portrait of morality, supported by an outstanding cast: De Niro, Duvall, Durning, Meredith, Cusack. (rf)
