"Mother Joan of the Angels"
1960
Directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz

One of the landmarks of modern Polish cinema, this gripping adaptation of Aldous Huxley's "The Devils of Loudun" (like Ken Russel's "The Devils") transposes the action to a seventeenth century Polish convent, where a priest investigates demonic possession among nuns. But the excorcist finds himself involved in an unavoidable mutual attraction with the mother superior. Full of brilliant symbolism, Kawalerowicz weaves a powerful allegory of good versus evil, chastity versus erotism. Polish with English subtitles.
108 minutes.
