The Innocents Comments

    Criticizing war and religion, interspersed with many women's awakening consciousness, it seems a bit complicated. The hostess is not quite standing upright, and the Virgin and Open are somewhat unreasonable. Overall it's a pretty touching movie. There is no just war, always full of violence and...

    This film is similar to "The Virgin...

    The Innocent is the best of the three films I've seen at this Munich Film Festival. The just-concluded World War II, the liberation of the Soviets in the occupied areas, did not bring much luck to this Polish monastery in the cold winter. In the face of war (and even after), what else can people believe in? God or life? I feel that there are a lot of things that I want to discuss in the movie, but I don't make it clear. But all in all, the picture is beautiful and the music is...

    The picture is very beautiful. It's all grey tones. Celebrate until the final turn. At that time it felt like the clouds were opening to the sun. Color overflows. The power of faith lies in believing in itself, not in being redeemed. The two girls are typical of faith and self-seeking, but it is hard to say who is happier. mathilde...

    3.5 stars, to show the distance from nun Ada, but the section about faith alone is stamped in every word. In the end, you still have to rely on actions. Beliefs that cannot generate action are doubtful, and they will be solved by themselves if they...

    A group of nuns who were raped and conceived by the Soviet Red Army asked a French nurse for help. The narrative includes two aspects: on the one hand, the nuns struggle between humanity and divinity, and on the other hand, they are rescued to awakening In the process of self-rescue, a large number of cumbersome scenes from the perspective of female nurses are not helpful to the narrative, diluting the contradictions faced by the nuns and the process of their awakening and transformation. This...

    A more twisted story than "Sister Ada". Rape-pregnant nuns allegorize the twin harm of Nazism and communism on Poland, with religion acting as a horrific accomplice in hindsight. The bright ending is a kind of redemption, but the French heroine is really a...

    The nun's clothes are blind. I can't tell who is who from the beginning to the...

    I don't want to label any country. In fact, in the face of war, one's destiny is like a small boat that can only drift along in the stormy sea. There are no abusers or abused people here, everyone is innocent. Most of the time, the film brings us such a sense of powerlessness. Fortunately, the last trace of warmth gives us hope. A high-quality anti-war...

The Innocents quotes

  • Maria: Dear Mathilde, the dark clouds have been hunted. We have here the sun in the sky. And you are in our hearts. Other wars may come. Other dangers threaten us, it will soon be difficult to write to us. But whatever our fate is, I feel ready to face it. I know, even if it makes you laugh, God sent you. Let him accompany you through the trials and that joy never misses you. Yours, Maria.

  • Mathilde Beaulieu: Good night

    Mathilde Beaulieu: I don't want to

    [avoiding the kiss from Samuel]

    Samuel: Me neither

    Mathilde Beaulieu: I mean it

    Samuel: So do I

    Samuel: What?

    [as she tries to stop him from ascending the stairs]

    Mathilde Beaulieu: You're too old

    Samuel: Charming...

    Mathilde Beaulieu: Not too loud

    [as she tries to shush him]

    Samuel: You didn't say that the first time.

    Samuel: It's not true. I may be ugly, but I'm not old.

    Mathilde Beaulieu: Pardon, no, you're not that ugly.

    Samuel: Really?

    Samuel: Come here

    Samuel: What?

    Samuel: Come here. I take that as an encouragement, you know.

    Mathilde Beaulieu: Oui

    [and kisses Samuel]
