In “Little Trouble Girls,” Urška Djukić makes a girl choir’s weekend retreat into a sweltering crucible. The director’s feature debut is Slovenia’s submission for the 98th Academy Awards and was a hit when it premiered at the 75th Berlin Film Festival, winning the FIPRESCI prize. It’s a profoundly queer, Catholic work, whose slippery sense of sin and living instils great confusion and consternation to those occupying the narrative’s solemn convent setting.
