Austrian writer and director Jessica Hausner takes on religious faith and miracles in this compelling drama. A young wheelchair-bound woman makes a pilgrimage to city of Lourdes in the hopes for a miracle like the thousands of believers who travel there. Hausner cleverly shows the world of the believers before asking some tough questions about faith and miracles. Who's worthy of a miracle and what's criteria for it to be accepted as such. Sylvie Testud stars with a subtle and quiet performance that speaks volumes about the agony of a believer. YRCinema's coverage of the San Francisco International Film Festival.
