Adaptación de la novela "Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy (Studies in the History of Sexuality)" de Judith C. Brown, que gira en torno a la sexualidad en un convento y la homosexualidad de una de sus monjas, que desde joven comenzó a tener visiones sin conocer el motivo. Ambientada en el siglo XVII e inspirada en hechos reales, narra la vida de la monja Benedetta Carlini, abadesa en el Convento de la Madre de Dios en Pescia, Italia, y de cómo empezó a tener extrañas visiones que la llevaron a recluirse en sí misma. Es cuando la jerarquía católica decide investigar y pronto encontrará que la abadesa Benedetta está teniendo relaciones sexuales con otra monja del convento, la hermana Bartolomea. Esto provocará un gran enfrentamiento con la Iglesia, en un momento muy complicado de la historia, en el que el protestantismo avanza con fuerza.

The true story of the rise to power and brutal assassination of the formerly vilified and later redeemed leader of the independent Congo, Patrice Lumumba. Using newly discovered historical evidence, Haitian-born and later Congo-raised writer and director Raoul Peck renders an emotional and tautly woven account of the mail clerk and beer salesman with a flair for oratory and an uncompromising belief in the capacity of his homeland to build a prosperous nation independent of its former Belgian overlords. Lumumba emerges here as the heroic sacrificial lamb dubiously portrayed by the international media and led to slaughter by commercial and political interests in Belgium, the United States, the international community, and Lumumba's own administration; a true story of political intrigue and murder where political entities, captains of commerce, and the military dovetail in their quest for economic and political hegemony.

Screenplay
Based on documents compiled by leading French philosopher Michel Foucault, this unique and original film charts the gruesome events which took place in a Normandy village in 1835, when a young man, Pierre Rivière, murdered his mother, sister and brother before fleeing to the countryside. With a cast made up of real-life villagers from the area where the events took place, the detailed re-enactments and careful attention to the gestures of their ancestors serve to create an intense and sometimes disturbing atmosphere of hyper-realism. Details of the crime and of the trial that followed are told from varied perspectives, including the written confession of Pierre himself, and form a rich and complex narrative that interrogates the concepts of “truth” and “history”.
