Immaculate Conception Blu-Ray

A Western couple (played by Melissa Leo and James Wilby) working in Pakistan visit an unconventional shrine to harness its spiritual powers and get help conceiving a child. There, they are showered with attention by the shrine's leader (an exceptional performance by Zia Mohyeddin - Lawrence of Arabia, Khartoum) and her followers, but their methods and motives are not all they seem, and the couple's lives are thrown into darkness. This captivating and disturbing film by director Jamil Dehlavi (Born of Fire, Jinnah) is a deeply personal work that raises questions about cultural and sexual identity, religious fanaticism, and the abuse of power.
