I like movies about nuns. some of them are scary. some of them are sweet. most are good. some are bad. it’s a strange dichotomy.
It’s a work in progress. Suggest ones if you would like. I’m trying to stay away from the exploitation films unless they’re already in the MUBI database. Thanks!
A Question of Habit features interviews with more than 30 religious women, cultural critics, historians, and artists. The film, which is narrated by Susan Sarandon, explores the “nature, scope, and significance” of nuns and why they are so prevalent in our culture. The storyline dives into lives of the religious women in the United States “from the battle field medics of the Civil War to the creators of the first HMO in the country to the political activists fighting against capital punishment,” according to a description on the film’s website.
