This episode takes as its subject Nigel Wingrove’s notorious short feature Visions of Ecstasy (1989), exploring its interpretation of the autobiographical writings of Teresa of Ávila, its merging of mysticism and sexuality, and its eroticisation of the figure of Jesus in the context of a wider discussion touching upon negative theology, censorship, sacrilege, and the great blasphemy boom of the mid-to-late 1980s.
