One of the most breathtaking and emotional works of French cinema, Jacques Rivette’s exquisite 1966 drama gets a glorious new digital restoration, ready for you to revisit or discover for the first time.

Nouvelle Vague icon Anna Karina stars as Suzanne, a young woman forced against her will to take vows as a nun, in a film that was highly controversial at the time of its initial release in France due to its portrayal of life within the church.

Based on the book of the same name by Denis Diderot and following on from an earlier stage adaptation produced by Jean-Luc Godard which also starred Karina to great acclaim, The Nun was a work that took Rivette many years to realise. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with this iconic but lesser-known work of the 20th century.
