| One of the greatest French actresses of her time, Sylvie Testud is Christine, a young woman confined to a wheelchair, visiting the city of Lourdes, along with thousands of others, in hope of a miraculous recovery. Winning four awards at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, LOURDES asks us to consider how we would live life severely disabled. The dark comedy considers everyone's responsibility including: Christine's, her fellow pilgrims, the religious order in charge and the pretty nurses who fancy themselves angels of mercy. | Directed by Written By Cast Includes |

Truly affecting. Boasts a gorgeous, muted palette and a tone that’s fresh, spare and haunting.”
