Wissenswertes
Production ended November 2018, and the film was initially scheduled for release at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, but in December 2018, director Paul Verhoeven had to undergo surgery for a hip injury suffered due to the set's location, which involved lots of hills and climbing. Post-production in Amsterdam had to be delayed until June 2019 to allow time for him to recover from his surgery. However, subsequent complications from pain medication caused an intestinal obstruction that ended in a life-threatening colon perforation; fortunately, Verhoeven's wife urged him to go to the hospital in time. Verhoeven and producer Saïd Ben Saïd agreed to delay the release to 2020 in order for Verhoeven to recover, and be fully present during the post-production process. Verhoeven still credits his editor Job ter Burg for finishing much of the film on his own while he himself was recovering and unable to attend. Eventually, the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic caused the movie to be delayed for another year.

Peak Verhoeven

It will be called subversive. There will be appreciation. There will be hate and there will be love, but if people took their time to read Paul Verhoeven's book about Jesus of Nazareth as a historical figure, they shouldn't be surprised about this film, which is based on a true story, Judith Brown's study Immodest Acts, about the rise and fall of the lesbian nun Benedetta Carlini.

I had so much fun watching this movie. Great acting, excellent story. Peak Paul Verhoeven, even at the age of 82. Apart from the usual Verhoeven elements, there are profound questions about the State and the Church, especially regarding interpretation of the Bible and the determination of God's will. Benedetta is a believer in a cynical world. For certain reasons, she needs a private place - in a world where 'private' isn't highly appraised and because of that, she'll have to turn to cloister politics. Benedetta is a great film about morals and who decide about them and when. I'll re-watch it very soon.
