By Allana Haynes Catholic News Service

WASHINGTON — Anne Fontaine, director of “Coco Before Chanel” and “Gemma Bovery,” released her most recent work, “The Inno- cents,” about a group of Bene- dictine nuns in Warsaw, Poland, raped by soldiers after World War II and the doctor who comes to their aid. The film is centered on French Red Cross doctor Mathilde (Lou de Laage), who is stationed in a Warsaw clinic and is found there by a panicked Benedictine nun, begging her to come back with her to the convent. There, to the doctor’s surprise, she finds a sis- ter about to give birth and others in their final stages of pregnancy. Mathilde, a nonbeliever, enters into the sisters’ strict reli- gious community, abiding by the principles of the order and Moth- er Abbess (Agata Kulesza). Fear- ing exposure, the women conceal the hostility forced upon them by Soviet troops, causing an inward battle between their faith tradi- tions and their reality.

Reflection The French aircraft carrier “Richelieu” was named for one of the most effective architects of French glory and power of France four centuries ago, Cardinal Armand Jean de Plessis de Richelieu (1585-1642). As Bishop of Lucon, the cardinal insti- tuted, and carried through, imaginative projects to restore a fervent Catholicism after the Reformation had so battered the church. His brilliance led to his appointment as French prime minister. Never personally immoral, he never- theless lost his spiritual bearings. Advancing France, by cutting any corner, was his only purpose in life. When he was dying, according to one legend, he said that if he had substituted his palace for a monk’s cell, he would not fear death.
