A visionary in every sense of the word, this famed 12th-century Benedictine nun was a Christian mystic, composer, philosopher, playwright, poet, naturalist, scientist, physician, herbalist and ecological activist. Reuniting with recurrent star Barbara Sukowa, New German Cinema auteur Margarethe von Trotta brings the story of this extraordinary figure to cinematic life. In a staggering performance, Sukowa portrays Hildegard's fierce determination to expand the responsibilities of nuns within the order, even as she fends off outrage from some in the Church over the visions she claims to receive from God. She was truly a woman ahead of her time.

Barbara Sukowa is a splendid actress! She's perfect for the role. The production and location of the movie was also highly commendable. However, according to the director she has a friend who's a professor in medieval history, who told her that in those times contracts were sealed with lip to lip kisses. This may or may not be true, but in any case, there were just too many lip to lip kisses in this movie, between monks and nuns (some, I suppose, would find that very amusing). It's not that I wanted this movie to be prudish, but it was just distracting to have some serious piece of dialogue, and then the monk Volmar being kissed by one of the nuns, and suddenly looking like a surprised schoolboy...Other than this confessedly minor point, I highly admire the research and fidelity of this movie. Many of the lines come straight from the works of Hildegard, and we are introduced to her wide learning and interests. To her thoughts on healing, music, nature, and of course, her visions from the Scivias. The faithfulness to the history would have made this a great movie to use on my medieval philosophy students for example, were it not for the kissing which, I worry, would leave my students with an awkward and historically controversial perspective on the medieval age. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2014* I love Hildegard Von Bingen - I find her life and everything about her inspiring - what a woman and what a beautiful relationship with our wonderful God Almighty. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2017* great DVD as advertised, quick delivery, recommended seller A+ --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60504168-vision-from-the-life-of-hildegard-von-bingen-dvd-2011](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/60504168-vision-from-the-life-of-hildegard-von-bingen-dvd-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
