The Little Hours. 2017. Aubrey Plaza |
Directed by Jeff Baena, very loosely based on a 14th Century novella, The Little Hours (2017) is a good mix of wittiness and occasional "off color" humor. Thoroughly enjoyable.
The plot is summarized: "Medieval nuns Alessandra, Fernanda, and Ginevra lead a simple life in their convent. Their days are spent chafing at monastic routine, spying on one another, and berating the estate's day labourer. After a particularly vicious insult session drives the peasant away, Father Tommasso brings on newly hired hand Massetto, a virile young servant forced into hiding by his angry lord. Introduced to the sisters as a deaf-mute to discourage temptation, Massetto struggles to maintain his cover."
The scene of Witchcraft, Magick and a coven circle in the woods is particularly interesting.
The whole cast does a great job, including Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman, John C. Reilly, Molly Shannon, Alison Brie and Kate Micucci.
