Paul Verhoeven on Benedetta | NYFF59

- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- NYFF Director of Programming Dennis Lim is joined by Paul Verhoeven, whose latest film, Benedetta, is a Main Slate selection of this year’s festival and will be opening at the Film at Lincoln Center on December 3rd.
Based on true events, Benedetta unearths the story of Benedetta Carlini, a 17th-century nun in Tuscany who believed she saw visions of Christ and engaged in a sexual relationship with a fellow sister at her abbey. Because this is a film by genre auteur par excellence Paul Verhoeven (whose movies include Robocop, Basic Instinct, and NYFF54 selection Elle), the result is anything but a reverent treatment of an odd footnote in Catholic European history. Forgoing the hallmarks of prestige cinema, this delirious, erotic, and violent melodrama is told with a boundless spirit for scandal, and unabashedly courts blasphemy as it unfolds its tale of religious hypocrisy. Wildly entertaining, and featuring standout performances from Virginie Efira as the title character and Charlotte Rampling as the stoic, conflicted Mother Abbess, Benedetta maintains both a feverish pitch and a fascinating ambiguity in its depiction of the miraculous and the mundane, the sacred and the profane.

Its pleasure to listen Verhoeven talk. Great interview
Finally watched this film the other night and was even better than I expected. Along with Elle his work is some of the most powerful, subversive and overall rewarding cinematic experiences I've had in recent years. Really urging me to go back to see some of his earlier films I've missed.
Thank god there are still provocateurs like him!
Thanks a lot!! Verhoeven is divine 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for this. Highly insightful.
Blows my mind that Verhoeven has been making great movies for 50 years at this point
Paul Verhoeven is a great artist. His works make you think about many things like what is freedom of identity, the nature of humanity etc. Thanks for this interview, appreciate l could know him more and see his beautiful library 🤗
thank you for uploading this conversation!
Thank you for the interesting interview. Is it permissible to translate this interview into Japanese and introduce it on my personal blog? Of course, I will clearly state that this video is the source.
Yes, no problem!
@@filmlinc Thank you very much.
I hope more Japanese will enjoy Benedetta more.
Genius love this man. Paul Verhoeven I don't know the other guy.
прикольный фильм
The film is disgusting and presents a statue of the Virgin Mary being used as a sex toy! The makers of the film should be ashamed! But they are not..... and that is a shame! There is nothing "Christian" about this film, except for its disgusting premise.
Exactily!!!!
lol grow up
Let us hope that the Mother of Mercy does not hear about this !
Paul Verhoeven has this fixation with nakedness and sexuality. But also wrote a book about Jesus which also seems to be a fixation of his. So in this movie one likely will see this odd mix being a representation of who he is as person.
