What Bernadette Is About

The film tells the life of Bernadette Soubirous, the eldest of four children in a poor family. What she said she saw at the grotto of Massabielle near Lourdes when she was fourteen turned first her family, then the village, then the church and the state against her; everyone who questions the girl expects her to change her account, and she repeats the same thing. Jean Delannoy’s hundred and nineteen minute French film tells the affair through the reaction of those around her and of the institutions, without turning it into a display of miracles. Sydney Penny plays Bernadette, with Jean-Marc Bory, Philippe Brigaud, Claude Buchwald and Arlette Didier in the cast. It was completed in 1988 and is based on a real life.
