Film Description

The most notoriously graphic descent into the world of nunsploitation. Set during 15th Century Italy when brutality was wielded mercilessly in the name of God, young Flavia is imprisoned in a monastery by her tyrannical father. Rather than the years of quiet contemplation she might expect, the sexually frustrated Flavia instead gets a crash course in hell on earth as rape, torture, castration, bondage and worse becomes her world.

Filmed by Alfio Contini (The Night Porter) and boasting a score by Oscar-winning composer Nicola Piovani, this disturbingly cruel exploration of sexual violence in the name of religion is as well made as it is sadistic on the senses.
