Benedetta - movie (released 2021)

Have just finished watching Benedetta

from Wikipedia: Benedetta is a 2021 biographical psychological drama film co-written and directed by Paul Verhoeven, starring Virginie Efira as Benedetta Carlini, a nun in the 17th century who joins an Italian convent while a young child and later has a lesbian love affair with another nun, while seeing religious visions.

In typical European style the nudism is realistic and not over sexualised nor exploited. The nudism reflects the times in which this is set and the life a nun would have lived. The cast are all stunning in their nudity but more so in their acting and execution of the characters.

Well worth the watch - but if you're excessively tired and do not speak French working through the subtitles may be best left for when you have more energy. The conversation is engaging and captivating but requires immersion.
