Aro Favourite Requiem

 

Germany 2006, 88 minutes
Dir. Hans-Christian Schmid
In German with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama

Topics: Mental Health.

 

Aroview: Tightly coiled within Sandra Huller’s commanding lead performance, this riveting account of a young woman’s struggle with epilepsy and religious conflict (culminating in a series of exorcisms) is an intensely focused, unsensationalist drama of the highest order.

Grounding events in a vivid, seventies German milieu, the disturbing source material is rendered both matter-of-factly and ambiguously, allowing for a film about discordant human relationships as much as one centered on mental illness and religious fervor. See THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE for a far more exaggerated, unlicensed version of proceedings.
