The Exorcist
Synopsis
Ophelia, a young nun recently arriving in the town of San Ramon, is forced to perform an exorcism on a pregnant woman in danger of dying. Just when she thinks her possession has ended, she discovers that the evil presence hasn't disappeared yet. The director of the award-winning Here Comes the Devil and Late Phases adds a new twist to possession movies in one of this year's Latin American horror surprises.
Cinema Atlas Connection
I studied Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon, a perfect film about the relativity of truth and perception, and the ambiguity of its various points of view. I applied this structure to the ambiguity of Regan’s possession in 'The Exorcist', where you don’t fully know what is true.
It's a deeply moving film about faith, and a mother and a child. That depth, that heart, is what I strive for in my own films.
