The Baby of M%C3%A2con


The Baby of Mcon is a 1993 film written and directed by Peter Greenaway starring Ralph Fiennes, Julia Ormond and Philip Stone.

The Church is both suspicious and jealous. The Bishops Son Fiennes, a believer in science and a skeptic, doubts the Daughter. She attempts to convince him that she is indeed a virgin by offering her virginity to him. Before the Bishops Son is able to consummate with the Daughter, the Baby commands a bull to kill him. The Bishop Stone arrives as his son has been gored, and blame for his sons death falls onto the Daughter.The Bishop takes custody of the Baby and the Church begins exploiting him, and the towns faith, far more than the Daughter. In response, the Daughter quietly suffocates the Baby. The Bishop sentences her to death, but because she is still a virgin, she cannot be killed outright. The Daughter is instead sentenced to be raped 208 times, after which she is to be executed. But after the rapes she is found to be dead. The Church then dismembers the Babys body and sells his remains as religious relics to the townspeople. Famine falls once again onto the city of Mcon. ........
