Hildegard von Bingen Appresh[views:1939][posts:7]________________________________________ [Jul 14,2009 10:17am - boblovesmusic ""] I take your Enya and raise you 12th century liturgical music! So simple, haunting and gorgeous. 900+ years old and it's still awesome! (yeah yeah it's church music, but it's awesome church music) [img] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildegard_of_Bingen |

It looks epic and dramatic and awesome! “Ms. Sukowa’s passionate performance brings this multi-faceted character to incandescent life.” —The Wall Street Journal Hildegard von Bingen was truly a woman ahead of her time. A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist and ecological activist. In VISION, New German Cinema auteur Margarethe von Trotta (Marianne and Juliane, Rosa Luxemburg, Rosenstrasse) reunites with recurrent star Barbara Sukowa (Zentropa, Berlin Alexanderplatz) to bring the story of this extraordinary woman to life. In a staggering performance, Sukowa portrays von Bingen’s fierce determination to expand the responsibilities of women within the order, even as she fends off outrage from some in the Church over the visions she claims to receive from God. Lushly shot in the original medieval cloisters of the fairytale-like German countryside, VISION is a profoundly inspirational portrait of a woman who has emerged from the shadows of history as a forward-thinking and iconoclastic pioneer of faith, change and enlightenment. bennyhillifierhttp://www.coolidge.org |
