  mins. Newly restored 16mm print. Music by Philip Glass. Two young nuns cr
 isscross Chicago\, approaching strangers on the street\, as well as in par
 king lots\, the Art Institute\, and churches\, asking the simple question\
 , “Are you happy?” They meet a lonely girl\, a happy mother\, young lovers
 \, hippie musicians\, a sociologist\, and even the actor Lincoln Perry\, b
 etter known as Stepin Fetchit\, now on hard times. The interviewees are so
 metimes taken aback\, nervous\, or clamoring to get into view of the camer
 a. Each interview is a complete and thoughtful piece of the person’s life\
 , with no intercutting. The humor and sadness of these honest encounters l
 ift the film beyond its experimental conceit into a serious and moving inq
 uiry into contemporary society and the circumstances under which people ex
 amine their lives. A fascinating work of cinema verite by Gordon Quinn and
  Gerald Temaner\, co-founders of Kartemquin Films\, Inquiring Nuns also fe
 atures the first credited film score by Philip Glass. A Kartemquin Films a
 nd Argot Pictures release. \n\n\n	“Inquiring Nuns is the closest thing to 
 a ‘pure’ documentary that I have ever seen.” — William Routt\, Film Quarte
 rly\, 1968 \n\n\n	'A lovely\, weirdly potent time capsule... a single\, po
 lyphonic ode to late '67 Chicago and what was on the mind of its collectiv
 e citizenry.' — Michael Phillips\, Chicago Tribune\, 2016 \n\n\n	Alongside
