La Vie Miraculeuse De Thérèse Martin
''La Vie miraculeuse de Thérèse Martin'' (''The Miraculous Life of Thérèse Martin''), is a French film, silent, directed by Julien Duvivier, and released in 1929. It is a " stark and striking biographical account of the late 19th century Discalced Carmelite nun who died at age 24 from tuberculosis and was canonized in 1925." The film is based on the spiritual autobiography Thérèse wrote, ''L'Histoire d'une âme''. The same material inspired Alain Cavalier's film '' Thérèse''. "Simone Bourday has genuine adolescent fervour as Thérèse and André Marnay is pathetically fine as her father. The sequence of the taking of the veil has extraordinary documentary force." Art direction on the film was by the future director Christian-Jaque. The film follows Thérèse Martin as she moves from the close circle of her family home in Lisieux to the austere world of the Carmel, where she joins her older sisters Pauline and Marie. In this film version of the saint's life the Devil (Fr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
