DAMNED IF YOU DON'T - Olhar de Cinema – Festival Internacional de Curitiba

Synopsis

The nuns from the movie Narciso Negro, the nuns who stroll by the neighborhood, the nuns and testimonies of Sister Crivelli and her sexual relationship with Sister Benedetta. A parallel montage emerges between the narrative plot of two fictional characters and these small assortments of the Imaginary order enveloping the “Brides of God”. Likewise, a narration that ultimately decides to question its own tone of voice in a film that sews amusing (and sensual) strokes about Catholicism and women beneath the religious habits. (C. A.)
