When a beautiful male child is born in a medieval village savaged by pestilence and a plague of infertility, it is hailed as a fertility icon. However, the child’s ambitious 17-year old sister proclaims herself the mother, and she exploits the child’s powers, pitting herself against the Church.
One of Peter Greenaway’s most controversial masterworks (think of it as his Salò!), The Baby of Mâcon has lost none of its shocking power. A damning indictment of humanity that exposes the dangers of religion, corruption, and groupthink through lavish and deeply perverse metatheatrical set pieces.
