Title: Long before there was such a thing as a feminist
Review: Hildegard von Bingen was an abbess, composer, migraine sufferer, and, in her own way, a champion for women's rights before there was such a label. If you're not familiar with her music, you owe it to yourself to get familiar. I saw this movie at a performance space quite a ways from where I live. It was worth the drive. I've been accumulating movies I that I consider explore the "dimensions of love." So far I've got "Besieged," "Vision," and "Afterlife." I'm waiting for the US format version of "The Intouchables" to become available, and the collection will be complete. Vision is, appropriately, visually sumptuous, brings a woman ahead of her times alive, and makes one appreciate the fact that, in mediaeval times, the Church actually offered opportunities for women to be independent and express themselves. This is a good movie that brings a period of history and an important historical figure alive.
