Film Description:
"The sensual, with its beauty and possibility of decay, is set beside immutable statues of the Virgin Mary. Images from technological viewing of the body's inner invisibilities—x-ray, MRI, electronic, and tarot—are juxtaposed with external surfaces—artist's renderings of inscrutable Mary. Skin and blood, paint and plaster hint at inner life."
