Paul Verhoeven returns with trailer for erotic nun drama Benedetta

May 8, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Pathe has released a poster and trailer for director Paul Verhoeven’s religious erotic drama Benedetta. Based on Judith C. Brown’s non-fiction book Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy, the film marks Verhoeven’s first since 2016’s Elle and follows a nun in 17th century Italy as she suffers from disturbing and erotic visions whilst embarking on a love affair with another woman.

In the late 17th century, with plague ravaging the land, Benedetta Carlini joins the convent in Pescia, Tuscany, as a novice. Capable from an early age of performing miracles, Benedetta’s impact on life in the community is immediate and momentous.
