Beyond the Hills
About the event
ACMI presents Beyond the Hills, a 2012 drama by Cristian Mungiu that follows two young Romanian women whose bond is tested within a strict Orthodox convent. Based on true events, the film explores themes of faith and fanaticism without sensationalizing the tragic story. This Cannes-winning work examines institutional failure and serves as an indictment of religion as a tool of patriarchal oppression.
