Visually gorgeous Japanese Nunsploitation based on a Manga and without a doubt some sort of a Masterpiece of this "beautiful" genre.
A mostly Latin sexploitation genre because of it's Catholic church and it's imprisoned Nuns, and the question among latin males what
the Nuns really are up to alone in the nunneries without men is one that evokes heated speculation. Luckily there are writers and directors
that can provide us with the answer to this enigma. I guess the equivalence to this question in the US would be whatever the Cheerleaders
are doing in the locker rooms, and the only one that really knows should be the horny school Janitor that looks on through a peephole
(wild guess, they undress and take showers).

Maya (Yumi Takigawa) starts her time at the catholic convent St. Clore as a nunnery novice and she's really going undercover there to try
and find out about how her mother Michiko died there. The Nuns have a lot of strict rules to follow and if they've any sinful thoughts they
have to whip themselves until blood starts trickling. But, there are sisters that try to revolt against the repressive regime, as sister Ichiko.
The Mother Superior loves to punish her nuns for the smallest offences and she delights in whipping them topless, and in a memorable
delirious scene she punishes Maya by whipping her with rose thorns.
When the priest Kakinuma finally sends after a brutal torture Nun May's life is in serious danger.

Norifumi Suzuki directed this demented Cult Classic, and he also gave us the inspired sleaze yakuza "Sex & Fury" in which we could see
our own sleaze film legend, Christina Lindberg.
The film is presented in anamorphic widescreen with japanese audio mono with english subtitles, region 1 DVD edition.

Extras i.a. an interview with Yumi Takegawa (17 minutes) who disappoints with her hypocrisy regarding the 1970's fun sexploitation films.
She's absolutely terrified that she took part in such an abomination of a film, a prim porcelain doll., plus a trailer
