Has anyone on this list seen this film, and what is your reaction (to its historical verisimilitude, NOT its cinematography!)
Specific detail of good/bad points would be appreciated.
Meg

Hildegard von Bingen was truly a woman ahead of her time. A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist and ecological activist.

In Vision - from the Life of Hildegard von Bingen, New German Cinema auteur Margarethe von Trotta (Rosa Luxemburg) reunites with star Barbara Sukowa (Zentropa, Berlin Alexanderplatz) to bring the story of this extraordinary woman to life. In a staggering performance, Sukowa portrays von Bingen's fierce determination to expand the responsibilities of women within the order, even as she fends off outrage from some in the Church over the visions she claims to receive from God. Lushly shot in the original medieval cloisters of the fairytale-like German countryside, Vision is a profoundly inspirational portrait of a woman who has emerged from the shadows of history as a forward-thinking and iconoclastic pioneer of faith, change and enlightenment.

What critics are saying about VISION

"As depicted in Vision, Hildegard was creative, passionate, fierce, dogged, manipulative, holy, learned, loyal-and obedient to her ideal of faith. She supported education and independence for women at a time when most women had neither."
- Lisa Miller, NEWSWEEK

"The film exalts in the diverse accomplishments of the 12th century Benedictine nun. Sukowa embodies her character's imposition of will with complete conviction, just as she does Hildegard's imposing intellect and bottomless devotion."
- Todd McCarthy, VARIETY

"Soul-stirring and daring. Admirably carried by the immensely gifted actress Barbara Sukowa in the role of Hildegard."
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY & PRACTICE

INTO GREAT SILENCE

Nestled deep in the postcard-perfect French Alps, the Grande Chartreuse is considered one of the world's most ascetic monasteries. In 1984, German filmmaker Philip Gröning wrote to the Carthusian order for permission to make a documentary about them. They said they would get back to him. Sixteen years later, they were ready. Gröning, sans crew or artificial lighting, lived in the monks' quarters for six months-filming their daily prayers, tasks, rituals and rare outdoor excursions. This transcendent, closely observed film seeks to embody a monastery, rather than simply depict one-it has no score, no voiceover and no archival footage. What remains is stunningly elemental: time, space and light.

SOPHIE SCHOLL - THE FINAL DAYS

A moving portrait of Germany's most famous anti-Nazi heroine. The film depicts the last six days in the life of Sophie Scholl from her own perspective: that of a courageous and vibrant young woman who is willing to face death for her belief in her ideals and those of the White Rose, an underground resistance movement to which she belongs. Through their resistance and protest against the Nazi regime, Sophie and her fellow members become synonymous with civil courage and a peaceful struggle against the rule of violence and oppression.

STRANDED

It is one of the most astonishing and inspiring survival tales of all time. On October 13, 1972, a young rugby team from Montevideo, Uruguay, boarded a plane for a match in Chile-and then vanished into thin air. Two days before Christmas, 16 of the 45 passengers miraculously resurfaced. They had managed to survive for 72 days after their plane crashed on a remote Andean glacier. Thirty-five years later, the survivors returned to the crash site-known as the Valley of Tears-to recount their harrowing story of defiant endurance
and indestructible friendship.
