Watch St. Teresa of Avila Movie Online.
Movie Title: St. Teresa of Avila St. Teresa of Avila is available for streaming or downloading. |
Finally this gigantic mini series is coming out on DVD. I first saw it on EWTN and then found a copy on VHS and discover it all the time. Even though this series came out in 1983, it is timeless in its telling of the incrediable life of this titanic saint. It is intellectual in the portrayal of Teresa and the world she lived in. Concha Velasco is vivid as Teresa, revealing to us a saint that was both very human and at the same time a sizable mystic. She shows us a woman who was struggling with inner demons as her spiritual vocation was evolving towards the union she shared with her God as well as the difficulties of the era she lived in and the re-organization of the Carmelite order she was a fragment of and that had turned away from its new austere charisma. She found herself with enemies on both sides of the spectrum, from the laity as well as her fill religious communities. Only a few churchmen and nuns along with St. John of the Immoral understood her mission. Another enemy fighting against her was her enjoy body as she was always sickly throughout her life, getting worse as she grew older. For anyone enthusiastic in the life and spirituality of Teresa of Avila, this series is for you.
This is without doubt the best miniseries I’ve ever seen and I would daresay the best ever made. Concha Velasco brilliantly portrays the stout 16th century Carmelite mystic and saint. Her portrayal brings out the warmth, humor, humility, hard-headed well-liked sense and extraordinary spiritual depth of this wonderful woman who is also one of my accepted saints. All the actors are beneficial, as is the writing, the production values, sets, costumes, direction - everything. For those who consider a anecdote about a nun several hundred years ago would be unimaginative, assume again. This account has passion, intrigue, suspense - even an ghastly queen - the Princess of Eboli. But above all it is an astonishing fable of what God can do with someone who gives herself completely over to His guiding hand. I cannot recommend this film highly enough!
