Resurrection (Imprint Collection #203)
In Resurrection, an unforgettable story of love and devotion, Ellen Burstyn delivers a tour-de-force performance as a woman who experiences clinical death and returns to life with the amazing ability to heal others. Attributing her powers to human love rather than divine intervention, she begins to aid the residents of her childhood town. After healing a zealous young farmer (Sam Shepard), she starts to fall in love with him. As their affair develops, he tries to make her confess that her powers come from God and not from within. Her refusal leads to a violent climax that will change the healer and all who touch her forever.
Critic Reviews:
- " …this is a genuine curio, a thoughtful film about healing that never quite explains itself…but is all the better for leaving plenty of room for interpretation according to your own beliefs… " – Eddie Harrison (film-authority.com)
- " Resurrection is an extraordinary film about a healer and the power of love. " – Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat (Spirituality & Practice)
