Pathe International has unveiled the poster and trailer for Paul Verhoeven’s subversive period thriller “Benedetta.” Cannes also confirmed that the film will world premiere at this year’s festival on July 9 and will be released in French theaters on the same day.
Inspired by true events, “Benedetta” is set in the late 15th century and stars Virginie Efira as Benedetta Carlini, a novice nun who joins the convent in Pescia, Tuscany. Capable from an early age of performing miracles, Benedetta’s impact on life in the community is immediate. But when her affair with another nun is discovered, it causes a scandal and leads Benedetta on a dangerous path. (Check out the film’s poster below.)
Charlotte Rampling, Daphné Patakia, Lambert Wilson and Olivier Rabourdin round out the cast.
