La mante religieuse

A film as polarizing and extraordinary as its genesis: After a near-death experience, director and screenwriter Natalie Saracco wrote THE MANEATER in just twelve days and brought it to the screen herself. She was supported financially by Catholic sponsors and won Giovanni Fiore Coltellacci (The Name of the Rose) as a cameraman. "The film's ambition and formal beauty, Marc Ruchmann's excellent performance, the beautiful music of Ernest Saint-Laurent, harmonize with the communicative sincerity of a promising filmmaker."
