  The Angel and the Woman (French: L'Ange et la femme) is a 1977 Canadian fantasy romance film directed by Gilles Carle and starring Carole Laure, Lewis Furey, and Stephen Lack. The film follows a woman who, after being brutally shot, dies in the snow and is resurrected by an angel who falls in love with her and eventually teaches her how to incinerate objects with her mind. The film is shot entirely in black-and-white and gained some controversy due to its explicit unsimulated sex scenes between the two leads.

  ## Production
  
  This film contains non-simulated sexual acts (vaginal penetration, fellatio and ejaculation) between the two main actors, Carole Laure and Lewis Furey. It is a fact that at the beginning of filming Laure was director Gilles Carle's girlfriend. In Carle's intentions, the sex act between Laure and Furey was supposed to remain a one-off, but in fact the two actors fell in love during filming, moved in together and later married.
