Interesting treatment of the life and times of Hildegard von Bingen...nun, poet, seer, intellectual, composer who lived in the 10th century.
These were still the "dark ages" and she faced some extraordinary obstacles achieving what she did...not least the strictures against physical/emotional pleasures denied to religious at the time...at least officially. She comes to love a young acolyte and pays a price.
BS was excellent as usual...a bit less towering than her performance in Rosa Luxemburg. The production was expensive and well assembled.
Overall, a solid, illuminating biopic.
