French writer and director Bruno Dumont explores the dangers of faith with this drama. A young and religious woman gets kicked out of a convent for not following the rules which leads her to befriend a devout Muslim man who recruits her as a suicide bomber. Dumont shows how faith and religion can be dangerous in the wrong hands like a weapon which brings religious fanaticism closer to home. It's one of best films about religion whether it's Christian, Muslim or Jewish or any other. Newcomer Julie Sokolowski gives a powerful performance as the lead. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
