Synopsis

One of the landmarks 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.
Available for the first time ever on DVD, Mother Joan Of The Angels is a spare, visually rigorous, and profoundly disturbing exploration of faith, repression, fanaticism, and eros.
