dir. Jerzy Kawalerowicz, cast: Lucyna Winnicka, Mieczysław Void, Anna Ciepielowska, Poland, 1961, 102 min
A landmark of Polish cinema, this film is based on the documented story of the ‘possession’ of a group of nuns that led to the burning of a priest at the stake in Loudun, France in 1634. All but one of the other nuns allows Satan's minions to enter their bodies. A devout priest uses every power at his disposal to exorcise them. ‘Mother Joan of the Angels’ is a spare, visually rigorous, and profoundly disturbing exploration of faith, repression, fanaticism, and eros.
