Story
Set in the mid-17th century, 'Baby of Mâcon' revolves around a church play performed for an aristocrat named Cosimo. The play features a grotesque old woman giving birth to a beautiful baby boy. The child's older sister exploits this spectacle by selling blessings from the baby and claiming she is its virgin mother. She subsequently attempts to seduce the bishop's son, resulting in severe repercussions from the Church.
Summary
Directed by Peter Greenaway, 'Baby of Mâcon' is a surrealist historical drama that explores themes of religion, fertility, and exploitation. Set against the backdrop of infertility plaguing the town of Mâcon, the film uses a grotesque theatrical production to critique religious fervor and its potential for corruption. The movie is known for its graphic violence and avant-garde style.
