Paradise : Faith

Paradies: Glaube, Austria, 2012, dir. Ulrich Seidl ****
The second part of Ulrich Seidl’s « Paradise » trilogy. This time, a woman obssessed with religion, spends her days knocking on doors of strangers and preaching  the word of God. Her obsession goes too far since she whips herself at night and seems to have sexual emotions repressed. When his Muslim husband comes back home to her, things get even more bizarre.  Full of controversial and awkward scenes (a specialty by Seidl), this is a must-see.
