The Last Bath review – self mortifying nun struggles with profoundly uneasy sexual awakening As I watched Anabela Moreira's intense portrayal of Josefina in "The Last Bath", a Portuguese drama that has finally made its way to UK screens, I couldn't help but think about the fraught dynamics at play.
At its core, this is a story about two people stuck together by circumstance: a middle aged nun and her teenage nephew, forced into an uneasy intimacy as they navigate the aftermath of tragedy.
The film's setting – a rural Portuguese village where tradition and faith hold sway – only adds to the sense of claustrophobia that pervades Josefina's world.
