Stigmata

Stigmata (1999) — watch online on iFILM: a supernatural thriller directed by Rupert Wainwright, starring Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne. Frankie Paige is a Pittsburgh hairdresser with zero interest in religion. Then the wounds appear — on her wrists, then her back. Unexplained. Recurring. Agonizing.

The Vatican dispatches Father Andrew Kiernan (Byrne) to investigate. What he finds doesn't fit any textbook case: Frankie isn't devout, has no reason to fake it, and the marks keep getting worse. Behind the scenes, a powerful cardinal played by Jonathan Pryce is less interested in Frankie's welfare than in what she might reveal — a message that could shake the institutional Church to its foundation. The cast also includes Nia Long, Rade Serbedzija, and Portia de Rossi.

Released in 1999, the film built a cult following for its gothic visual style, a frenetic editing rhythm, and Arquette's raw, committed performance. The score drew on contributions from Billy Corgan. Stream Stigmata (1999) in full online on iFILM.
