Stigmata
In rural Brazil, the funeral of a beloved priest is marked by a statue of the Virgin Mary weeping blood. In Pittsburgh USA Frankie, an atheist hairdresser, begins to exhibit stigmata (wounds similar to those suffered by Christ on the Cross) after her mother gives her a rosary as a present. At first Father Kiernan, a Vatican investigator, can find no connection between the two events. As Frankie begins to experience visions and possession, he realises that both are symptoms of a centuries old conspiracy.

MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) Stigmata [2000]
Gabriel Byrne plays Father Kiernan, a young Jesuit priest whose degree in chemistry makes him a sort of priest/detective as he investigates weeping Marys and the like around the world. Meanwhile, Frankie (Patricia Arquette), a rave-generation Pittsburgher, is afflicted with the stigmata--holes that appear in her wrists, resembling the wounds of Christ. The young woman's symptoms filter back to the Vatican and Father Kiernan is assigned to the case. The priest is puzzled by Frankie's atheism; usually the stigmata only appear on the devout (hence the age-old controversy of miracles vs. hysteria). Other manifestations appear on Frankie, and the priest's cardinal (Jonathan Pryce) is brought in, leading to political manoeuvring within the Church hierarchy. The film owes a large and obvious debt to <I>The Exorcist</I> (at one point, Frankie's bed scoots across the room and she levitates into a crucifix position) but to term it an <I>Exorcist</I> rip-off would be to short-change <I>Stigmata</I>. The premise and screenplay are more cerebral than in the l973 film, and the source of the phenomenon is coming from a completely different place.<p> Unfortunately, amid <I>Stigmata</I>'s high-octane editing and slick technique, the chills of <I>The Exorcist</I> aren't there, giving the movie a sort of identity crisis: horror movie or intellectual thriller? Several elements of the film challenge basic tenets of the Catholic faith, hence the brief furore that erupted at the time of the film's release; if nothing else, the internal workings of the Church are shown in a very unflattering light indeed. Byrne excels as the sceptical priest, as does Arquette as the tortured young woman. All told, <I>Stigmata</I> is a rather uneven effort but one with a thought-provoking combination of theology and thrills served up in a thoroughly modern, stylish package. Fans of TV's Ally McBeal will recognise Portia De Rossi in a supporting role. --<I>Jerry Renshaw</I>
