Stigmata

“The messenger must be silenced.”

Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) is a hairdresser with no use for religion until wounds start opening on her wrists, and she can't explain them. The Vatican sends Father Andrew Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne), a priest trained to investigate such cases, and Cardinal Daniel Houseman (Jonathan Pryce) watches from the Church. Rupert Wainwright's film turns on one idea: a person who believes in nothing can still be marked by someone else's faith.
