Todd Haynes, who considers Max Ophuls’ THE RECKLESS MOMENT (1949) one of his ten favorite films of all time, gives a wonderful 22 minute introduction of the film, titled "Maternal Overdrive," a term he uses to describe the state of the protagonist, Lucia Harper (Joan Bennett).

Lu and Fati are teen mums living in a religious shelter in Buenos Aires. Sister Paola arrives there to take her final vows. But the girls’ impending motherhood faces her with a challenging situation.

Stan Brakhage. MATERNAL FILIGREE began as an exploration of life in the female body, and led me astray. The film finally led me back to the original question.
