European Art House That's More Pretentious Than Profound

Images in a Convent tries really hard to be this deep, contemplative piece about faith, sexuality, and repression within convent walls, but it mostly just comes across as slow and self-important. The cinematography has some genuinely beautiful moments, all soft lighting and careful compositions that make the religious setting feel appropriately austere and mysterious. You can tell the director had some real artistic vision here, but the execution just doesn't quite live up to the ambition.The pacing drags something fierce, and while I get that it's supposed to be meditative, there's a difference between thoughtful silence and just plain boring stretches where nothing much happens. The performances are fine enough, but the whole thing feels like it's trying too hard to be profound without actually having much profound to say. It's the kind of European art film that makes you feel like you should appreciate it more than you actually do.

Finally, a 'documentary'

Set in a convent long ago, Isabella is sent there to punish her, as her choice of men did not pass muster. There, she is told she won't have to take the vows, as her lifestyle would desecrate the convent, and she wouldn't obey them anyway. Interestingly, one of the nuns has the mark on her arm of having received the smallpox vaccination. (Yes, the camera gets very close at times.) There is a statue in the garden, and the convent was built upon 'troubled' soil, evil deeds in its day. One day, in the garden, a man is found wounded. It is forbidden to have a man in the convent, but they are a very poor convent, and far from any village, so the Mother Superior allows the man to be treated, trusting the one nun to not ever be tempted. Isabella sees a chance to get the man to get word out that she is locked away at the convent. There is a lot of nudity, and a couple of scenes are very explicit. But the presence of the man turns a lot of the nuns into very randy women. Yes, there is a connection with the appearance of the man and the statue.
