Requiem
Hans-Christian Schmid, Germany, 93 mins, 2006, CLUB
Starring: Sandra Hüller, Burghart Klaussner, Imogen Kogge, Anna Blomeier, Nicholas Reinke, Jens Harzer
Alternately shocking and meditative, this exceptional film concerns a young woman in the thrall of religious ecstasy and the failed exorcism that ultimately kills her. Rejecting medical solutions out of some inner fear, she ultimately turns to a young, crusading priest. As he spins an increasingly dubious and demonic narrative about her condition, the film takes a more sinister and conspiratorial turn.
