Absolution
At a Catholic boys' school, domineering disciplinarian Daddy Goddard subjugate his students with a firm hand. When among his teen charges confesses to murder, the dogmatic however deeply repressed Goddard finds his faith tested and his life spiralling alarmingly out of control. Likewise starring Billy Connolly (in his very first feature-film duty), Dominic Guard, Kes celebrity Dai Bradley, and also the unique Brian Glover, and also created by the great Anthony Shaffer, Absolution is one of British cinema's most underrated refrigerators, not the very least for an imposing central performance by Burton.
