Paul Verhoeven's medieval passion play Benedetta receives long standing ovation at CannesWhatever 82 year old Paul Verhoeven is up to with his latest film Benedetta he surely has created an intriguing narrative in this true story of a 17th century nun that falls in love with Bartolomea, played by Belgian actors Virginie Efira and Daphne Patakia.
Verhoeven throws in some amazing and contemporary twists in the film with Sister Benedetta as a transgender who takes on the guards of the Nuncio (Lambert Wilson) and the plague linked to homophobia.Charlotte Rampling plays the (ex) Abbess.
Definitely Palme d'Or / Queer Palm material. The long standing ovation at Cannes tonight confirms public success among film critics.
