Lourdes — 2009
Wheelchair-bound Christine makes a pilgrimage to Lourdes, a commune in the Pyrénées Mountains. The film does very well to display the human aspects and inner working of Lourdes. The volunteers and workers make plans for drinks whilst feeding disabled patrons, tell religious jokes, gossip about each other. Most of the pilgrims go seeking a miracle. The film poses a lot of questions about these miracles; mostly literally as patrons and workers come to a priest seeking answers. Christine’s story is the main focus, but there are lots of interesting characters. I enjoyed the film a lot and I’m crushing on Christine’s aid pretty hard.
