A brilliant movie based on a real story from Aldous Huxley This movie captures all the real-life details of a very intense and dramatic story: the clash between two high priests of the pre-modern Church on the destruction of the last medieval State Cities in France, Saint Croix de Loudun. In this real plot, unearthed by the brilliant research of Aldous Huxley, the twisted manipulation of a whole city takes proportions never again reached in history, including the single documented case of demoniac possession of an entire nun convent. Brilliantly put together, it reveals the cruel elements of the late Middle Ages in Europe, including the overwhelming power of the Inquisition, and its use by the Church on the building of the modern States. A fine piece of art, this film is also an excellent action movie, with thrill, sex, the heroic battle of good X evil, and supreme sacrifice. And, It's All True.
