A
young French actress in Lisbon to shoot a movie is intrigued by a nun
she sees kneeling in the in the chapel where she is filming.
My
ratings
7.0/10
My
impressions:
The
first few minutes is already an indication of the style and approach
the film is going to take to tell the story. A woman asked the main
character in a later scene, what kind of film is she working on. When
the answer was an unconventional film, the retort was it must be a
boring film.
How
very apt that a character would say that. A deliberate offhand dig at
so many who might have the same impression.
Yes,
it is slow and tedious. It took some time for the plot to develop and
most probably that was the intention. To let the message simmer
before coming to a boil at nearly the end of the film.
The
theme of love, its effects on your relationship with yourself and
those near you is the main thrust. The story also touches on the love
for God. Questions are asked on how many loves can there be in one's
lifetime and the different forms it takes.
