New Showbiz Analysis

Even Pigeons Go to Heaven prioritizes traditional storytelling and comedic timing over diverse representation. The narrative relies on familiar themes of greed and clerical opportunism. The film's focus is narrow, centered around a traditional male relationship, limiting the range of perspectives and social critiques. While it offers a cynical view of religious figures, it frames this through individual morality rather than broader societal issues.

Official Synopsis

On a moonlit fall night, a priest races to the home of Mr. Moulin running a motorcycle off the road and arriving just in time to catch the old man as he falls from a chair on which he stacked books in order to reach a bottle of cognac. Mr. Moulin is a miser with a sock full of money that the priest would like to appropriate by selling the old man a space capsule that will take him to paradise. After a test drive and some negotiation, the deal may be struck, but then, there's a knock at the door.
