Stations of the Cross

A teenage girl defies her Catholic parents and embarks on her own campaign of religious fervour, in this award-winning drama composed of just 14 scenes to mirror Biblical tableaux.

Dietrich Brüggemann won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for his formally bold drama about a teenage girl who defies her Catholic parents and embarks on her own uniquely stringent campaign of religious fervour. Structured as fourteen separate scenes to mirror the Biblical tableaux of Catholic tradition, Brüggemann’s film is also a funny, frightening and ultimately moving meditation on the limits of faith.
