    If you're a hot woman, you can do whatever you want and get away with it, because that's what God wants.

    half the movie: what is faith? what is god? your body is your biggest enemy. the other half of the movie: with her bosom heaving for christ, she breasted boobily to the nunnery and titted inside

    It is bold, provocative, and visually stunning. Virginie Efira delivers a magnetic performance in a film that blurs faith, desire, and power. Daring, excessive, and unforgettable.

    Kisah tentang sebuah penipuan, berkhianat, dan dikhianati. Cinematography-nya sangat bagus. Minusnya ada di story yang tidak terlalu kuat, namun cukup menarik.

    Intéressant pour les « travers » de la religion et nous afficher une époque où elle régnait en maître

In Benedetta, master provocateur Paul Verhoeven demolishes the line between the sacred and the profane. The breast becomes holy, a source of nourishment from which religious fervour can stem. The Virgin Mary, in turn, inspires not only boundless grace but sexual desire.

At the risk of insulting Benedetta, it’s mostly good, clean, wholesome fun.

Benedetta is led by a wildly fun performance from Virginie Efira as a real-life 17th century lesbian nun. Equal parts funny, sensual and incendiary, it’s a committed work from director Paul Verhoeven — a master of tonal balance — even if its exploration of the war between body and spirit occasionally falls short.
