Thérèse (1986)
Country: FR
Technical: col 91m
Director: Alain Cavalier
Cast: Catherine Mouchet, Aurore Prieto
Synopsis:
A young girl becomes a nun, and with only her simple faith as her guide is canonized as Saint Therese of Lisieux.
Review:
The packaging of this monograph of religious devotion is so fine (a colour scheme centred on blues, quick fades instead of cuts, extreme close-ups of the minutiae of cloistered life) that the effect becomes monotonous and it is unclear whether the aim is ironic detachment or ecstatic empathy.
