Title: Hildegard von Bingen - VISION
Review: The movie is beautiful but not long enough. Knowing a little about the life and works of Hildegard von Bingen, I was surprised by the omission of her contributions to music and science as well as the depiction of the anchorite Jutta. Von Bingen's most known work, the Scivias, is completely ignored as it relates to her visions. Oddly enough, the director also neglects Hildegard von Bingen's wide correspondence with political and religious figures of the day. If you don't get caught up in the historical 'expectations' of the life of the saint and enjoy it as a work of cinematic art, the movie was a beautiful representation of the period.
