Guillaume Nicloux directs this French-language adaptation of the
novel by Denis Diderot. The film follows the fortunes of Suzanne
(Pauline Etienne), the child of a wealthy family who is committed
to a nunnery against her will. When informed by her mother Simonin
(Martina Gedeck) that she is an illegitimate child, the reasons for
her internment become clear to Suzanne: to ease the financial
burden on her cash-strapped family and to alleviate her mother's
feeling of having 'sinned' by giving birth to her. Suzanne's woes
are multiplied by first-hand experience of the corruption and
impiety of the church. Viciously abused by Supérieure Christine
(Louise Bourgoin), Suzanne attempts to escape her plight through a
series of letters begging authority figures to intervene and have
her vows annulled. Will she manage to break free?
Written, produced, and mixed by Max Richter. Recorded at Eastcote
Studios by Phil Bagnal and Anna Tjan, and The Exchange Studios by
Mark Rankin. Texts by Haruki Murakami. Artist credits: Max Richter:
