Never one to shy away from controversy, filmmaker Paul Verhoeven follows up his award-winning “Elle” with this film starring Virginie Efira as 17th-century nun Sister Benedetta Carlini. Carlini was hailed as a visionary and then later accused of fabricated miracles, homosexuality and other charges, and imprisoned for nearly four decades. Based on historian Judith C Brown’s novel “Immodest Acts” and adapted by Gerard Soeteman (“Black Book”), the blend of religion and erotica should rile some people up even in this day and age when the Church’s influence is ever dwindling.
