The Apparition

The Vatican sends Jacques Mayano (Vincent Lindon), a French journalist still carrying a trauma of his own, to a small village where a young woman named Anna (Galatea Bellugi) says she has seen the Virgin. He joins a commission of church officials and a doctor. Xavier Giannoli keeps the inquiry in procedural detail, so the film comes down to what a person decides to believe and what proof can ever be asked to settle.
