Noomi Rapace, known for her intense portrayals on screen, has now set her sights on one of history's most revered figures: Mother Teresa. But this is not a traditional biopic. The latest film to feature the Swedish actress stars her as a young, ambitious woman on the cusp of leaving her convent in 1948.

Shot on location in Kolkata, India, where the late nun spent seven pivotal days of self-doubt and determination, "Mother" paints a more human picture behind the iconic image. According to director Teona Strugar Mitevska's vision, this is not a reverential portrayal, but an unflinching examination of the saint's inner turmoil.

Rapace takes on her most radical character yet, navigating the complexities of Teresa's inner conflict. The film promises to be a "punk rock" portrait that strips away the mystique and reveals the woman beneath.

In an interview with Eve Jackson, Rapace spoke candidly about delving into the depths of Teresa's psyche and the emotional toll of filming on location in India.
 
OMG 🤯 I'm SO down for this new movie!!! Noomi Rapace is an incredible actress and I love how she's taking on a role like this - it's not your typical saintly figure. The fact that she's going for a more "punk rock" vibe, stripping away the mystique, is so cool! 🤘 It's gonna be interesting to see her bring Mother Teresa to life in a way that's relatable and human, you know? I mean, we've all been through our own struggles with doubt and uncertainty, right? 💔 I'm also super stoked she filmed on location in India - it's such an amazing country! Can't wait to watch this movie and see how Noomi nails the role 😎
 
I'm so done with the Hollywood machine trying to rewrite history again! 😒 They're taking this iconic figure like Mother Teresa and turning her into some kinda "punk rock" rebel or whatever. Newsflash: she was a nun, for crying out loud! What's wrong with just celebrating her kindness and selflessness? 🙄

And now they're gonna film on location in India, like that's a new thing to do? 😒 I mean, I get it, Kolkata is where she spent some pivotal days, but can't we leave the sacredness of those moments alone? It feels like they're trying to humanize her for our benefit or something. 🤔 I'm not buying it. This just smells like a way to cash in on her legend. Mark my words, this film is gonna be a total mess! 🚮
 
I'm low-key excited for this film! I mean, Noomi Rapace is amazing and can bring so much depth to any role. But Mother Teresa? That's a big deal. I've always felt like we only see half the story when it comes to her life. This sounds like a game-changer in terms of humanizing her. Can't wait to see how she brings this complex woman to life 🎥👀
 
It's not until we look at our own vulnerabilities that we can see clearly... ( 💫 ) People fear it because they know not what it may bring forth. - Unknown 😊
 
I'm intrigued by this new take on Mother Teresa's life 🤔. The idea of shedding the mystique and revealing her inner turmoil resonates with me. Noomi Rapace is known for her intense performances, and I'm excited to see how she brings depth to a character often portrayed in a more sanitized light 🔥. The fact that this film will be shot on location in Kolkata, India, adds an extra layer of authenticity to the story. I'm curious to see how Teona Strugar Mitevska's vision balances the saint's legacy with a nuanced exploration of her humanity 📚.
 
I'm curious about this new film, I love Noomi's acting style and she really can bring depth to any character 🤔💡. The idea of making a more humanizing portrayal of Mother Teresa sounds really interesting to me. I mean, we all know the iconic image, but who is the person behind that? It's like, what if the saint wasn't always so perfect and serene? The fact that it's set in Kolkata where she spent those pivotal days of self-doubt must add a layer of authenticity to the story 🌳🕊️. I'm looking forward to seeing how Noomi brings this complex character to life on screen, and whether the film will be as impactful as I hope it'll be 💥🎬
 
I'm so excited to see Noomi Rapace tackle a new role! I think it's awesome that she's taking on Mother Teresa's story but with a twist - showing her as a human being, not just an icon. It sounds like director Teona Strugar Mitevska wants to peel back the layers and get at the real person behind the legend 🎥. Noomi seems up for the challenge too! I'm intrigued by this "punk rock" portrait that's supposed to be so raw and honest - it'll be interesting to see how they balance the reverence with the gritty reality 💁‍♀️. Can't wait to watch the film and learn more about Mother Teresa's inner world 🎬
 
I'm intrigued by Noomi Rapace's new role as young Mother Teresa... I mean, it sounds like she's trying to humanize someone who was already revered for being super selfless 🤯. I love that she's going for an "unflinching" approach - I bet it'll be really thought-provoking seeing her character struggle with doubts and all that 🤔. But have you heard anything about the film's accuracy? Is it based on any specific accounts or memoirs from Mother Teresa herself or people close to her? Want to fact-check this for me 😊
 
🤔 This sounds like a whole different vibe from your typical Mother Teresa biopic 🎥💪 Noomi Rapace is known for her intensity, so I'm intrigued to see how she'll tackle this role 🤯 The fact that it's more humanized and not a traditional, reverent portrayal could be really interesting 👀 I'd love to see how the film balances the mystique of Mother Teresa with a more nuanced exploration of her inner conflict 💭
 
I'm intrigued by this new film about Mother Teresa 🤔. I mean, we've all heard of her, but I never really thought about what made her tick, you know? I love that Noomi Rapace is taking on this role - she's got a proven track record of playing complex characters.

But what really caught my attention was the fact that it's not your typical biopic. It sounds like they're trying to humanize her in a way that we haven't seen before. And using Kolkata, India as a location is genius! I can only imagine how intense filming on location must have been, especially considering the time period.

I'm also curious about what Noomi Rapace had to say about delving into Teresa's psyche. Was it a tough role for her to take on? Does she think we've misunderstood Mother Teresa at all?
 
I'm really not sure why we need to humanize Mother Teresa even more 🤔. I mean, I get it, she was a complex person and all that jazz, but can't we just leave her as this iconic figure with an aura around her? This new film seems like it's going to make her sound like some kind of anti-hero or something... not sure if that's really what the world needs right now. And what's up with this whole "punk rock" vibe, is that really how we should be portraying a woman who dedicated her life to serving others? Give me a break 💁‍♀️.
 
I'm curious about this new film, I mean, who would've thought Noomi Rapace as Mother Teresa? 🤔 It sounds like it's gonna be a wild ride, stripping away all the mystique and showing the real person behind the legend. I love that they're taking an unflinching look at her inner turmoil - it's about time we got a more human side of someone so iconic.

But you know what would make this even more interesting? Seeing how the locals in Kolkata feel about this film, are they excited or skeptical? 🤷‍♂️ Also, Noomi Rapace is known for her intense performances, I'm wondering if she's gonna fully immerse herself into Teresa's character.
 
I'm curious about this new film, I mean its gonna be interesting to see Noomi Rapace as Mother Teresa. She always brings so much intensity to her roles, maybe that's what they're going for with this biopic. Its not like shes trying to recreate the whole holy experience or anything, but more like... whats going on beneath all those layers of compassion and kindness? Is she really that selfless or is there some part of her thats just as messed up as the rest of us?
 
I'm low-key hyped for this new Noomi Rapace movie 🤯. I mean, she's already proven her acting chops in those gritty Swedish thrillers, but playing a young Mother Teresa? That's like, a bold move!
