![]() ![]() Out December 3 after premiering to shock and delight at Cannes, Paul Verhoeven’s latest film tells the sexy, sapphic, completely chaotic tale of the titular 17th-century nun (played by Virginie Efira), whose fervent lust for the Virgin Mary is matched only by her less-platonic lust for a younger peasant girl, Bartolomea (Daphné Patakia), who arrives at her convent and immediately seduces her. ![]() But I am here to argue that, actually, that title belongs to Benedetta. Last year, Clea Duvall’s Happiest Season made a case for itself as the first good lesbian Christmas rom-com. Virginie Efira and Daphné Patakia discuss working alongside Paul Verhoeven, the feminist bona fides of their movie, and Virgin Mary dildos.
