"...an austere, deeply questioning examination of a devout young woman having an intense crisis of faith...the film is exquisitely molded, dramatically parched and entirely sincere…" –Variety
Hadewijch
Bruno Dumont, 2009, France, 105m
In one of his most uncompromising works to date, Bruno Dumont (Life of Jesus, NYFF 1997) undertakes a topical exploration of the psychology of religious extremism and martyrdom. Expelled from a convent for her overzealous faith, teenage Céline (Julie Sokolowski) reluctantly returns to a life of comfort and privilege as the daughter of a French government minister. Back in Paris and farther from God, she makes a new friend, an Arab boy who introduces her to the cités, housing projects full of Arab and African immigrants, an alien world but one where faith exerts a familiar sway. As hard-headed and at times as enigmatic as its unforgettable heroine, Hadewijch is a movie on a quest: At once a sincere theological inquiry and a provocative political meditation.
