"The Holy Girl" Lucrecia Martel demonstrates why she's one of cinema's most exciting young directors with this acclaimed follow-up to La Cienaga. A powerful coming-of-age story with bold religious themes, Martel's sophomore drama stars Maria Alche and Julieta Zylberberg as close teenage friends who temper their curiosity about sex with their strict Catholic upbringings. A charged physical encounter with a respected physician (Carlos Belloso) causes the girls to seek salvation for the middle-aged doctor--an endeavor fraught with new discoveries about power, shame, and sexual vulnerability. "A film that defies categorization, but I'm tempted to call it a miracle" (A.O. Scott, The New York Times). In Spanish with English subtitles. 106 minutes. |
