The Baby Of Macon (1993)

"The Baby of Macon" is Peter Greenaway's 1993 period drama, staged as a play-within-a-film set in a plague-stricken town, mixing religious allegory with deliberate provocation. Julia Ormond plays a woman hailed as a virgin mother by the townspeople, a status that turns her into a public spectacle and eventually a target. The staging pushes past theatrical distance into scenes of assault and exposure as the story moves toward its ending. The archive holds 4 scenes from the film, including Ormond nude and subjected to the mock trial that closes out the story.
