Bruno Dumont and Hadewijch

Posted: November 29, 2009 in dumont, hadewijch


I have yet to write my blurbs about Hadewijch. I found the film quite interesting, and a noteworthy turning point in Dumont’s career. It delves into lots of contemporary ramification about religious extremism (clash/friction of religions) departing from a historical/fictional account on a fairly unknown Christian mystic Hadewijch and her writings. I saw the film at its premiere in Toronto this year. I took some photos of Dumont after the screening while discussing with Piers Handling of TIFF. This photo stands out as a bit obligue and abstract, but has a mysterious tag as well hence paralleling the film in a way.

I’ve cross-posted this with my other blog Filmarylin.
