Among thousands of ailed visitors, she proceeds through the well-oiled machinery of the religious tourist destination until the unbelievable happens: she is suddenly able to walk. As Christine becomes the object of wonder and envy, bolstering and testing the faith of her fellow pilgrims, the question remains whether all is as it seems. A personal favorite of Martin Scorsese, Jessica Hausner\u2019s acclaimed third feature distills the central theme of her filmography: the contentious gray area between faith and fact. Dryly humorous and quietly riveting,\u00a0Lourdes\u00a0is the \u201csuperbly subtle, mysterious and brilliantly composed film\u201d (The Guardian) that established Hausner as a vital contemporary auteur on a global scale.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/tv.apple.com\/movie\/lourdes\/umc.cmc.1e7h78d4sr3y0oihrcs2lpwbp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOURDES | 2009 &#8211; 96&#8242; &#8211; Drama.
