Lucrecia Martel’s intriguing The Holy Girl (La niña santa) brought yet another good turnout to MovieNight this week! This spellbinding film moves slowly from one expertly-crafted shot to the next and, I must admit, even after my second viewing, there remain subtle nuances which I haven’t been able to comprehend. Somehow, though, it doesn’t matter. I just believe.

And in the category of best blurted-out comment from the pre-show bar, we have, “Stop saying that! You’re freaking me out!” Not mentioning any names, of course.
