Benedetta

It is the 17th century in Italy, where religion runs rampant and sex is treated as sin. One nun finds herself stricken with both by experience religious visions and erotic sensations within her mind. As she struggles to deal with these thoughts, a female friendship soon turns romantic as the two become compelled towards each other, even if they must hide their love during such chaotic times. Directed by Paul Verhoeven (Elle, Black Blook), this period romantic drama stars Charlotte Rampling, Virginie Efira, Lambert Wilson, Hervé Pierre, and Olivier Rabourdin.
