If you loved La chair et le sang, try Benedetta
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Paul Verhoeven, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to La chair et le sang, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Benedetta is
17th-century Italian convent, a crucifix hangs, chanting echoes. A novice arrives, a nun's devotion wavers, visions begin. Verhoeven's period drama is characteristically unflinching.
