Binding: DVDEAN: 0897079001010 Format: NTSC Label: Ignatius Press Languages: Manufacturer: Ignatius Press Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Ignatius Press Region Code: 1 Release Date: January 01, 2006 Running Time: 106 minutes Studio: Ignatius Press Editorial Review: Product Description: Following up the acclaimed best-selling movie, Bernadette, the story of the apparitions of Our Lady in Lourdes to Bernadette Soubirous, this beautiful Jean Delannoy film tells the rest of the story of her life after the Marian visions- the life that made Bernadette a saint. The grotto at Lourdes is flourishing with many pilgrims, and Bernadette leaves to enter the convent of the sisters of Nevers to dedicate her life to God. Under the harsh rule of the Novice Mistress who "doesn't believe in apparitions", Bernadette, now Sister Marie Bernard, begins her life of achieving sanctity through prayer, faith, suffering, and deep charity toward all. With another moving performance by actress Sydney Penny, this film reveals incessant illness and suffering that St. Bernadette patiently, even cheerfully endured throughout her life in the convent, often repeating her prayer to "suffer and offer it to God." She went to her eternal reward in 1879, at the age of 35. When her body was exhumed many years later, it was found to be incorrupt. Today she lays in rest in a glass case in the chapel of the Sisters of Nevers, where millions have come to see "the little saint of Lourdes." Average Rating:
 Rating: - "I Too Need Peoples Prayers ~ To Be Worthy Of Heaven"Released in '89 'The Passion of Bernadette' begins where the film 'Bernadette' '88 ends. When her visions of the "Lady of White" come to an end the young seer decides to become a "Bride of Christ' and enters into a convent to dedicate herself to her Catholic faith and live the rest of her life as a nun. Since the film deals with Bernadette's life behind convent walls the non-Catholic viewers will probably find this film rather slow and mundane. By its very nature the life of a nun is one of prayer, ... Read More Rating: - Bernadette comes across as stuck-up in this filmThe story is very well told, it is a beautiful movie but they have Bernadette act in a fashion that seems like she is in love with herself, she is harsh on others and you think "the real Bernadette would have never said that". But in other parts, it still is a good movie and the lines seem to be real quotes. The part where she is told "... God alone is enough" or how her fear of the devil's deceptions is dispelled is very good while the part with the bishop is kind of silly. Just like in the first Bernadette ... Read More Rating:  - Passion of BernadetteA Ryan's review is very accurate. I would add for family viewing that there is one scene where Bernadett is administering medical care to an old nun with an advanced breast tumor (that is visually depicted) that may scare or put off younger kids. They depict a postulant getting sick at the sight of it. My 9 year old who has a weak stomach was a little put off by it, but the scene is not done in an inappropriate way as they treat the subject matter very respectfully. This incident is cited in one of the more ... Read More Rating: - How Bernadette Became a SaintCountless people know the story about the famous apparitions of Our Lady to Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes in 1858, and the shrine that millions now visit in Lourdes every year because of those apparitions, and the miraculous stream that Bernadette discovered at the direction of Our Lady. But not many people know about the "rest of the story", the story about Bernadette's life after those apparitions - the story of how she became a saint. This well-made feature film tells that story, which in some ... Read More Rating:  - The Passion of BernadetteI don't like this product because the story does not as good as I though. |
