Thérèse
The true story of the "Little Flower" who became a saint.
Directed by Alain Cavalier
A spare, meditative portrait of spiritual devotion and inner grace, told through the quiet life of a young saint discovering meaning in small acts of faith.
The life of little St. Therese of Lisieux, depicted in minimalist vignettes. Therese and her sisters are all nuns in a Carmelite convent. Her devotion to Jesus and her concept of "the little way" to God are shown clearly, using plain modern language. A sense of angelic simplicity comes across without fancy lights, choirs, or showy miracles.
