Synopsis
Lourdes (2009) — watch online on iFILM. Austrian director Jessica Hausner made this quietly unsettling drama as a co-production with Germany and France. Sylvie Testud plays Christine, a woman confined to a wheelchair who joins a Catholic pilgrimage to the Pyrenees — less out of devotion, more out of a need to go somewhere other than home.
Then one morning she wakes up walking. No explanation offered. The other pilgrims don't know whether to celebrate or resent her, a handsome volunteer from the Order of Malta starts paying attention, and Christine herself is holding on tight to happiness she didn't expect. Léa Seydoux appears in one of her early roles.
Hausner never confirms or denies the miracle — that's the point. The film watches faith and human nature with the same cool composure, without flinching or moralising. Stream Lourdes (2009) online on iFILM.
