Rather fascinating, with some striking imagery.

Characters and motives move from one-dimensional to erratic to downright nonsensical. Interesting idea to turn into a film and I would like to see it done. Aside from a couple good shots there's not much new or applicable in this ho-hum medieval tale of religious hypocrasy.

If you blinked that day in May of 1995 you missed one of the best little movies ever financed by the British Film institute. Not for the faint of heart, this slow black and white meditation is for the serious viewer only. The pacing is not for the uninitiated.

In 14th century England, a peasant girl that claims to have seen visions of the Virgin Mary agrees to be walled up in a church and live as an "anchoress", a woman who removes herself completely from secular society. She becomes a major attraction, drawing pilgrims to the church, but when her earthy views of spirituality conflict with the priest's (Christopher Eccleston) more traditional views, things go bad for everyone. An interesting film elevated by it's beautiful black and white imagery. A bit reminiscent of early Dvaid Lynch in look and feel, even though Newby's interests could not be farther removed from Lynch's.
