The High Priestess, the second card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot and represents the feminine consciousness away from the male principle (the Magician). Represented as a priestess or dressing Monaco, symbol of wisdom and knowledge means. Thiswell as the interpretation and reading Snke Wortmann attributes to Pope Joan inspired from the pages of the bestseller of the U.S. Women Woolfolk.
Certainly not the first time that the film is dedicated to Johanna Anglicus, the woman in the face of fundamentalist misogyny of the Church occupies the office of Peter and regn presumably between Leo IV and Benedict III. Myth and medieval legend, the woman who became Pope Populi Monaco Benedictine and then in 1972 was interpreted by fascination Norwegian Liv Ullman in the movie of Michael Anderson . Several years after Johanna Wokalek males and popes to bring to the screen in a movie that once again the kind and size of the historical epic.
After ' Agor of Amenbar , history of philosophy and astronomyHypatia mortally wounded by the blows of religious intolerance nell'Alessandria of Egypt of the fourth century, to compete Wortmann access to a woman lit the square and the arena set up by men. The optics and has chosen the same sex kind of bulwark to power of thought and knowledge in a world designed for men. Fathers, guardians, law and religion, who look at women as an imperfect version of man, naturally more suited to reproduction, child care and a life inside the house. No stars to watch, no books to consult, no presence or activity on the social scene.
The limit of the film is going to fail to turn in the film's ambitions and the planned value of the subject matter. The approximate reconstruction, the romantic subplot, the characters barely sketched consistency to remove credibility of the story and the existence of a woman affected by pope master dGondor and the failure of David Wenham (presumably?) from historical records.

Ana, a young woman raised by her father in a cave by the sea in the Balearics. In an art market in Ibiza, where he exhibited naf colorful paintings, his work attracted the attention of Justine, a patron of Madrid. The woman offers the opportunity to enter a "common" for young artists to cultivate his talent.
Far from his father and the cave that isolated from the world, Ana practical hypnotic sleep and found that it was a Berber mother, a feminist climber, a goddess of fertility and many other Indian women killed at the hands of man. In the New World find an answer and the principle of s.
Julio Medem, without sacrificing strong components ironic, parodic and symbolic, sign and turn a (melo) drama esoteric based excess and surealismo with strong accents and grotesque. The religious elements, and maternal female characters, the joyful sessualit (authentically Spanish and avowedly inspired by that almodovariana) find no way to sit in Catic Ana into a unique and compelling. At the center of his movie there 'still a woman trying to get in touch with the feminine principle in its fishing past. If the character of Lucia y el sexo moved from Madrid to the sea, Ana does the reverse route. The characters move in and love kitschy furniture, bodies, male and female, are shown in the simplicity of their subtle movements: go to the bathroom, make love, die or be devoured by vultures frozen on K2.
Catic Ana addresses the relationship between men and women trying to represent the difference and social hierarchies thathave been established around the world about equality. Starting from the condition of gender inequality, expressed symbolically in the opening sequence (the dove attacked and destroyed by the falcon), the director tries to understand and uncover the underlying reason for this subjection. The regressive hypnosis, which seeks the causes of internal conflicts in the remote world of past lives, spiritual psychotherapy technique that Medem applies to decipher the buried emotions of the protagonist. The question of the relationship between the sexes and the opposition is resolved by resizing the domain of male and female on restoring the balance between the two parties.
Good intentions, great ambition, the ridiculous "management" of esoteric matters.

A villa in the south of France A doctor, Samuel, and his wife, Suzanne, who decides to go back to work forty years as a physiotherapist.

The English lover, impoverishing translation of the original Parties, sets no new theorems on the husband-wife-mistress triangle and not citing low as Truffaut, from which it borrows from a successful musicensione.asp? 22850th id = "title =" The Woman Next Door "> The lady next door, or Flaubert (also his wife Emma Bovary was a doctor), the film rises magically from its mediocrity. Not happens.
Yet it is precisely in the rejection of morality and melodramatic in its crude lucidit look of the film by Catherine Corsini finds his character. Certainly not in the love story between the woman and the proletariat, but the manner in which a vertex of this triangle, the square of the husband, is brought up out of shape, leaving the other two on the ground, literally. The director points his finger at the disadvantaged status of women, economic blackmail and (again literally) trapped in a film devoid of major subtexts, of course, would say almost superfluous, if not for an invoice tense and dry, which discards the boredom, and left for some interesting light emanatingto the pair Yvan Attal / Kristin Scott Thomas and allows, for example, the scene of hitchockiana husband who helps the woman who destroyed a drink to his feet.
But just because the deviation from the mel feuilleton already been made, even with the proposal of a heroine who refuses to cry on me, do not fully comprehend the choice of a final that was characterized by a female revanchism draft of that machismo antan represented by Samuel. Gesture compartment at the start, that the grand final is at pains to close, to stop a single possible interpretation, again dell'impossibilit and pessimistic view of the equation equals love equals madness destruction.
