Benedetta

Sarah and fellow medieval historian - and expert on nuns - Annalena Müller discuss Paul Verhoeven’s 2021 film Benedetta. Join us as we tackle what the film got right, what it got wrong, and what it tells us about sensationalism, religion, and sex - medieval and modern. 
 CW: The film includes some scenes which raise issues of abuse and consent within a relationship, which we discuss. Social Media: Twitter @mediaevalpod E-mail: media.evalpod@gmail.com Rate, review, and subscribe!
