Synopsis
During the Inquisition period, Federico witnesses the harrowing trial of Benedetta, an alluring nun accused of seducing and driving his brother to suicide. Centuries later, in the same convent prison, a vampiric old man hides within the convent’s abandoned walls until facing eviction.
Editorial
Winner of the FIPRESCI award, this haunting portmanteau from director Marco Bellocchio is a shrewd social commentary steeped in striking gothic imagery. Set in a convent-prison, the film shifts from past to present, crafting a story that is a love letter to Italy’s past and a critique of its stasis.
