NOT A REVIEW
A great minimalistic / austere biography of a nun made Saint, focused on fanatism , sincerity and obliviousness, jumping swiftly from years to years.
Catherine Mouchet is luminous in the title role, incarnating some of those traits.
Filming in a carmel being physically impossible because of the rooms size and hard in its disturbance on the inhabitants, the choice of greenish walls with a few furnitures to make the whole environment made for an interesting and aesthetically pleasing alternative, making the audience focus on the people, just like the camera focuses on their faces.
Score: 9/10
Enjoyment: 4/5
(1): "A life already told on film by someone called ... Julien Duvivier?"
