Once again, I had the pleasure of joining Criteria: The Catholic Film Podcast, this time to discuss Alain Cavalier’s Thérèse (1986), a fascinating post-New Wave approach to the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. This is the only Therese film on the Vatican Film List and St. Therese happens to be my own patron saint, so I’m very grateful to hosts Thomas and James for inviting me on to take a swing at discussing saint cinema, St. Therese, and French cinema.
I hope you enjoy the conversation. Watch on Youtube or listen on Apple Podcasts. And if you’d like to chat about the film, connect with me on Twitter.
