DESCRIPTION:(Matka Joanna od Aniołów)
A film by Jerzy Kawalerowicz
Poland, 1960
1961 Cannes Film Festival / Winner: Special Jury Prize
Before THE DEVILS...
there was MOTHER JOAN OF THE ANGELS!
The film is a visually astonishing and profoundly disturbing exploration of
faith,
fanaticism and repressed sexuality. Built around an extraordinary lead
performance
by Lucyna Winnicka, Kawalerowicz creates one of cinema’s most intense
portrayals
of the tragedy which ensues when passion is crushed by dogma.
Mother Joan of the Angels is presented for the first time in a stunning new
4K
restoration.
“Kawalerowicz's masterpiece... translating inner turmoil into austere
images
reminiscent of Dreyer” Elliott Stein, Village Voice
“A work of breathtaking spectacle and complexity, and undoubtedly the
crowning
achievement of early-60s Polish cinema” Michael Ewins, E-Film
