Yay! I didn't know they were making this movie.

Oh. My.

And Judy Taymor doing her own interpretation of the Tempest? Can't wait to see that...

Can't wait to see Agora! Thanks for the link to the other one!

Holy cow!

Now I want to go and re-watch Prospero's Books (I saw it in the theatre when it came out and it was sensually overwhelming)!

I do wish the director of the Hildegard film had had the courage to paint up the set to show how gloriously colourful mediaeval churches and cloisters were. I know the austerity of the plain stone gives that dark, brooding feel, but it does remove whole layers of context.

Still, I am tremendously excited. So, so looking forward to seeing this! It looks from the trailer that they've made it as much about her visionary experiences as the institutional politics - I really hope that's true. Practically vibrating in my chair, here!!

What next? A film about Hilda of Whitby would be amazingly cool :)

Do you remember the party we had where we ran Prospero's Books in the background?

It's such a delicious, sensual movie and so impossible to watch with the left side of the brain...

Oh, my goodness - I had forgotten it until now! Yes!

When I saw it on theatrical release, one of my college friends wanted to go back the next night to watch it again. I couldn't. I just could not process it all sufficiently to cope - my senses were saturated, and my whole body felt overloaded. I have never, ever had that experience with a film before or since. Just astonishing.
