07/26/2012 Borderline nunsploitation historical drama that was far better in terms of story, acting and production values than I would have expected. Sure, there's some nudity thrown in to keep things interesting, and the violence can get pretty bloody at times, but in the main it's about a medieval feminist, the power of the church, and the use of religion in general as grounds for men to kill one another. Interesting enough to warrant a viewing. Based, probably quite loosely, on real events but by no means a documentary. Florinda Bolkan turns in a strong and icy performance in the lead role. See more 10/01/2011 one of the best nunsploitation movies. . See more 05/02/2011 Not really sure why this was made - supposedly based on historical events but really the need for all the random sex and nudity - not really - not well filmed, acted or dubbed - just a bad film See more 01/30/2011 Italian Nunsploitation drama set in Medieval Southern Italy during the Islamic invasion. A little unfair to label this a nunsploitation film to be honest, it's better than that and is quite well made. Of course there's a bit of sex, nudity and torture but it's relevant to the story which is allegedly based on true events. The actress that plays the rebel nun is quite good and the film has an authentic look. It's not great, a little slow at times, but worth a look. Be warned - there's a horse castration scene! Painful! See more 01/01/2011 There's a lot more to this than a bunch of nunsploitation - women crawling into butcher's carcasses, for example - but it's a fine bit of nunsploitation too. Very good. See more 02/08/2010 Very very very strange. This must be an art movie. See more Read all reviews
