The Apparition

This is a curious subject, an investigation to find out if the apparition of a nun's virgin is true or not. With Vincent Lindon as a war reporter mandated by the Vatican to carry out the investigation.

Nice cast to support this story. The young Galatea Bellugi is impressive. Vincent Lindon follows this story, always a little suspended, in a universe where some are ready to believe many things.

Xavier Giannoli masters from beginning to end this story, rather iconoclastic nowadays because it is not very much related to societal concerns. The story has multiple dimensions: the Vatican protocol; the investigation of Vincen Lindon; the character of Galaté Bellugi, and her relationship with Vincent Lindon; the media exploitation by the believers (Anatole Taubman, impressive); the beliefs of the pilgrims. In short, even if the subject may not be interesting at first, the film is fascinating.

Xavier Giannoli knows how to choose the music of the film, which are all magnificent and accompany the images well.
