You’ve got heresy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Originally filmed in French as Le moine et la sorci\u00e8re<\/em> (“The monk and the sorceress”), this 1987 take on the Inquisition is available dubbed in English as The Sorceress<\/em><\/a>, and it packs some surprises. To quote the Internet Movie Database plot summary:<\/p>\n

A Dominican friar visits a 13th-century French village in search of heretics. Despite the opposition of the local priest and the indifference of the villagers, he finds a seemingly perfect suspect: a young woman who lives in a forest outside the village and cures people with herbs and folk remedies.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the monk arrives, all full of bright ideas, I could not help thinking of Prof. Hill in The Music Man<\/em>. You know how it goes<\/a>: “You got trouble, folks, right here in River City . . . . and that rhymes with ‘H’ and that stands for ‘heresy.'” But what rhymes with ‘H’?

Forget the silly rhymes and watch The Sorceress<\/em>. I liked the cult of St. Guinefort the greyhound, once you get past the beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
