Walerian Borowczyk (The Beast, Immoral Tales) keeps faith with his highly erotic and colourful visual style in this highly charged convent romp.
The myth of a convent as a serene and reverent haven is completely blown out of the water as Borowczyk takes the viewer through an amazing repertoire of sexual behaviour.
A Mother Superior desperately tries to prevent her charges from experiencing the sins of the flesh with little success and eventually the church has to exact cruel punishment nuns' outrageous behaviour.
As with many of Borowczyk's films the climax is dark and explosively dramatic leaving the viewer with images that linger and the need to question the nature of morality and eroticism.
