A woman searching for a miracle seemingly finds one -- but what comes next? Christine (Sylvie Testud) has spent most of her life confined to a wheelchair, unable to use her arms and legs, and while she has a keen mind and the means to seek treatment, she looks for a solution to her condition in faith as well as medical science. Christine has made a pilgrimage to Lourdes, the village in Southwestern France where a celebrated miracle is said to have occurred, and she checks into an upscale clinic where a young nurse named Maria (Léa Seydoux) is assigned to look after her. Christine imagines that she and Maria are becoming fast friends, but the nurse prefers to spend her time with her co-workers rather than her patients, and she often flirts with Kuno (Bruno Todeschini), a handsome man who also works at the clinic. Christine finds herself having several conversations with Mme. Hartl (Gilette Barbier), who has a powerful belief in the healing powers of the waters of Lourdes, and after several days of treatment, Christine is amazed to find that she's regained the full use of her arms and legs. But once she's experienced the miracle she hoped for, Christine's interest is less in thanking the Lord and more in pursuing Kuno. Lourdes was written and directed by Jessica Hausner, and received its world premiere at the 2009 Venice International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

New Review For Movie Lourdes
One of the most observant -- and enigmatic -- movies of the year.David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle
In a film rich with provocative questions, Hausner audaciously examines the ambivalent nature of miracles. Are they gifts from a loving God or random occurrences, bereft of any moral or meaning?
Jeff Shannon-Seattle Times
A provocative and surprising pleasure that may persuade even the most hardened rationalists to reconsider what religion means as a sanctity to those who have few other choices in life.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out
Beautifully led by birdlike Sylvie Testud as an ailing young woman in a wheelchair, every character (pilgrim and helper alike) exhibits a soul. And shaped with confident talent by the Austrian filmmaker, every serenely composed shot matters.
Lisa Schwarzbaum-Entertainment Weekly
A paralyzed young woman with MS stands up and walks in Lourdes, but it'll be a real miracle if anyone manages to stay awake throughout this extravagantly dull film.
Kyle Smith-New York Post
Adventurous filmgoers will be rewarded by its unusually open-ended storyline.
Daniel Eagan-Hollywood Reporter
Hausner frequently composes pictures in which our view is cut off by a wall, a pillar, or a pilgrim ... but like God's silence, these obstructions remain impenetrable.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Image
The withholding of judgment persists across Lourdes, which is comic, haunting, sweet, pious, unsettling, agnostic, and wholly deadpan at various moments.
Nick Davis-Nick's Flick Picks
Movies about miracles range from the awful to the unwatchable... that all changes with Jessica Hausner's Lourdes; it's a visually-striking, beautifully-realised, emotionally-devastating drama that both salutes and skewers the deeply-religious.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
[An] aesthetically and tonally controlled knockout.
Nick Schager-Lessons of Darkness
An odd, dispassionate religious film that will likely be more powerful for skeptics than true believers, it manages to most strongly suggest the possibility of grace by so clinically observing its opposite.
Jeremy Heilman-MovieMartyr.com
Spiritually flawed and often cynical though Hausner's pilgrims undoubtedly are, they're all too recognisably human.
Michael Brooke-Sight and Sound
The film was primarily shot on location, which gives it a heaviness, an historic weight, that dominates the movie much more than anything to do with character or plot does.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
This off-centre film looks like a paean to devotion ... and yet Hausner quietly and cleverly undermines this
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Hausner manages and controls our expectations in this superbly subtle, mysterious and brilliantly composed film.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
At the heart of the film is Sylvie Testud, one of the most beguiling actresses in the world, and whom I would happily pay to watch do nothing more than sleep for 24 hours.
Sukhdev Sandhu-Daily Telegraph
A film featuring the kind of compelling, textured female character that most serious Hollywood actresses would trade at least a decade's worth of Botox to get their claws into.
Wendy Ide-Times [UK]
It's beautifully shot, nicely acted and about as dry as comedies get. In fact, it's so dry it might not be a comedy at all.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
This film is both good and powerful. It saves the God debate, still intact, for another round. It is as magically, richly ambivalent as life itself.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
A cucumber-cool satire which views the poetry and passion of spiritual faith through a prism of rigid bureaucracy and ruthless logic.
Alan Mack-Little White Lies
This is meticulously made, knowingly played and disconcertingly subversive.
David Parkinson-Radio Times
Hausner subtly sketches in the characters involved -- the pilgrims, the carers, the bemused but conscientious resident priest -- and the tensions and jealousies that thrive in Lourdes' hothouse atmosphere, without ever showing her hand.
Philip Kemp-Total Film
This is as much a subversive black comedy as a reverential treatise on spirituality.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
