When the Rev. Claude Charles Vaché became diocesan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia in 1978, he was seen as “high church” or very traditional in his views, according to clergy colleagues. However, “he prayed a lot over issues, always asking for guidance,“ said his “foster son,“ Valdeir France of Portsmouth. Unequivocally opposed to the ordination of women, he surprised his diocese by changing his mind. “He began to think and talk about it and thought it was the right thing to do,“ France said.

You’d think the story of the most famous plot to assassinate Hitler would be dramatic enough. You’d think the director would not have to pimp it up. But the director of “Valkyrie” does not trust his material (though maybe that’s because he read the script). So he ramps up the sense of urgency, choosing at every turn overdramatic camera angles, overdramatic lighting, overdramatic sound effects and—this cannot be overstated—overdramatic music.
