Mother Joan of the Angels

Matka Joanna od Aniołów

Jerzy Kawalerowicz, PL, 1961, 103 min., OV + ES + SS

The Mother superior who is possessed by the devil is tempting priests with sinful acts. A new exorcist arrives at the remote women’s monastery, but his faith will be put to a test too. A historical drama by Jerzy Kawalerowicz from the 17th century deals with the topic of religious fanatics, superstition and human weakness that is still current today.
