Captured on cinema since it commenced, if a filmmaker doesn’t find a new angle in which tell the horrors of World War II, then it can perhaps seem like a futile effort. Agnus Dei, the latest film from Coco Before Chanel director Anne Fontaine, digs up such an example of a compelling, true story from Philippe Maynial. Its title, translated as Lamb of God from its Latin origin, most commonly refers to the sacrificial giving that Jesus offers. However, specifically in the Old Testament, it can refer to a person who succumbs to the punishment of sins without willing to do so, which is clearly where Fontaine more specifically draws from.
We begin in December 1945, a few months after World War II ended, and its effects are perhaps being most felt in a secluded convent outside of Warsaw, Poland. It’s there where an outfit of Soviet soldiers raped the nuns during the war,...

Director: Anne Fontaine

French director Anne Fontaine, who has been making features since 1997’s Dry Cleaning, has certainly been jumping around between genres over her past several features, skipping from the romantic comedy of My Worst Nightmare (2013) to her tawdry English language debut Adrift (2013) and a modern twist on Flaubert’s eternal text with 2014’s Gemma Bovary. Her latest is a French-Polish co-production period piece set in 1945, where a nurse working for a branch of the Red Cross caring for French survivors of the German camps is convinced into following a sickly Polish nun to her convent after the woman begs for assistance. The nurse discovers a clutch of nuns all in advanced state of pregnancy.

Every film at Sundance is competing for something — love, affection, cold hard cash — but every year, dozens of films play Sundance without officially competing in any of the big four categories. The film festival announced its out-of-competition lineup today, a slate that's not just notable for the parade of big-name directors bringing their latest works to Park City, but also for the variety of TV or TV-adjacent projects choosing to open at the Mecca of indie film. Besides new work from Whit Stillman, Werner Herzog, and Kenneth Lonergan, we've also got the debuts of Chelsea Handler's Chelsea Does, James Franco's 11.22.63, and Starz's adaptation of Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience*. Read the official Sundance summaries below, and then check out the films that will be competing right here.Narrative Film Premieres Agnus Dei / France, Poland (Director: Anne Fontaine, Screenwriters: Sabrina N.
