Review: 'An indescribable nightmare' leads to a crisis of faith in 'The Innocents'

Set in wintry 1945 Warsaw and based on true incidents, Anne Fontaine's "The Innocents" is a moving study of what happens to the faithful when God's plan suddenly seems impossible to follow. In its early scenes, a young French Red Cross doctor named Mathilde (Lou de Laage) is summoned to a rural convent after a frantic nun, Sister Maria (Agata Buzek), pleads with her for help. Upon arriving, Mathilde finds a nun in painful labor -- and others in advanced pregnancy. They have endured, explains one haltingly, "an indescribable nightmare," after a horrific Red Army occupation of the convent some months earlier.http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/809073.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=pDVXDsx9ZoM:Qy_xnrhY7-c:yIl2AUoC8zA) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/809074.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=pDVXDsx9ZoM:Qy_xnrhY7-c:F7zBnMyn0Lo) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/809075.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=pDVXDsx9ZoM:Qy_xnrhY7-c:V_sGLiPBpWU) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/809076.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=pDVXDsx9ZoM:Qy_xnrhY7-c:qj6IDK7rITs) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/809077.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=pDVXDsx9ZoM:Qy_xnrhY7-c:gIN9vFwOqvQ) http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/iipcache/809078.png (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/starsandstripes/militarylife?a=pDVXDsx9ZoM:Qy_xnrhY7-c:QXVau8BzmBE)
