Mother Joan of the Angels (Region Free)

Before THE DEVILS... there was MOTHER JOAN OF THE ANGELS!
A landmark of Polish cinema, this celebrated film is based on the documented events of the demonic possession of a group of nuns that led to the burning of a priest at the stake in Loudun, France in 1634 (also the basis for Aldous Huxley’s 1952 novel The Devils of Loudon, and Ken Russells notorious 1971 film The Devils).

Jerzy Kawalerowiczs Mother Joan of the Angels is a spare, visually astonishing and profoundly disturbing exploration of faith, repression, fanaticism and sexuality. Aided by an extraordinary performance by Lucyna Winnicka as Mother Joan, Kawalerowicz produces one of cinemas most evocative and intense studies of the tragedy of emotion repressed by dogma.
