Benedetta
Production ended November 2018, and the film was initially scheduled for release at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, but in December 2018, director Paul Verhoeven had to undergo surgery for a hip injury suffered due to the set's location, which involved lots of hills and climbing. Post-production in Amsterdam had to be delayed until June 2019 to allow time for him to recover from his surgery. However, subsequent complications from pain medication caused an intestinal obstruction that ended in a life-threatening colon perforation; fortunately, Verhoeven's wife urged him to go to the hospital in time. Verhoeven and producer agreed to delay the release to 2020 in order for Verhoeven to recover, and be fully present during the post-production process. Verhoeven still credits his editor for finishing much of the film on his own while he himself was recovering and unable to attend. Eventually, the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic caused the movie to be delayed for another year.,Soeur Felicita - abbesse: No miracle occurs in bed, believe me.,Featured in Javo & Temoc: Top 10 Películas: Lo "mejor" del año (2022),Favus Distillans

Arranged by Anne Dudley,It's hard to tell if this movie is trying to be realistic while implying some messages on religious hypocrisy, delusion and desires, or if it's just trying to be a fantasy, or even satirical. But it's definitely compelling, exciting and entertaining. It's provocative, crazy and might be annoying to some. Lead performance is solid.,
