Benedetta
“Verhoeven, as always, is more interested in playing games and is always at his best when needling an audience’s ideas of good taste.”~Rory O'Connor, The Film Stage
Aroview: Typically provocative yet playful psychodrama from Dutch director Paul Verhoeven, starring Virginie Efira as Benedetta Carlini, a novice nun in the 17th century who joins an Italian convent and has a lesbian love affair with another nun. Loosely based on the 1986 non-fiction book Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy, by Judith C. Brown.
