Benedetta

In the late 15th century, with plague ravaging the land, Benedetta Carlini joins the convent in Pescia, Tuscany, as a novice. Capable from an early age of performing miracles, Benedetta’s impact on life in the community is immediate and momentous as she suffers from disturbing religious and erotic visions.

Benedetta, a delirious, erotic, and violent melodrama, has already caused a stir when screened in the program of the Cannes Festival this year. Celebrated genre auteur Paul Verhoeven shocks us with his wildly entertaining tale of religious hypocrisy and sexuality in religious service.
